The Weatherby Vanguard is a classic and to put it in Weatherby's own words "nothing shoots faster, hits harder or is more accurate". Chambered in the hard hitting 300 Winchester Short Magnum it will put down anything in North America with deadly precision. The previous owner claimed less than a box of shells through the rifle and based off of the condidtion of the rifle we're inclined to believe him. There are some minor bumps on the stock but with the nice wood patern you'll look right past them. If you're looking for your next magnum hunting rifle you need not look further.
