I am going to buy a new 22-250, and was wondering what everybody thought about the Weatherby Varmint special. I seems like a good deal its around $500. I am also looking at a Savage Varmint 12 BVSS. The Savage is about $200 more. The Weatherby has a blued 22" .750 dia barrel, tan with black spider web stock. The Savage has a 26" flutted stainless barrel, brown laminated stock. Does anyone have experience with either of these rifles, witch rifle is better??? THANKS!!!
I have a 112 savage in 25-06 that shoots excellent. Also have 2 extra barrels for it , change time on the barrels is about 20 min. Can't do that with a Weatherby. Also personally don't buy foreign made guns anymore. Is hard for the home team when everyone wants a tikka or some other foreign made arm. Don't know where the wby. is made , but I do know where Savage is made , have been to the factory. Didn't have to fly or paddle a boat. Will get flamed for this I guess but I don't care. Have watched the American manufacturers suffer to long .
Vanguard is a Howa ,and Howa's are great rifles if the Howa you are looking at is their varmint rifle they are known to be very accurate rifles and are worth your consideration.
IT IS NOT TRUE. THE MOSSBERG FIT AND FINISH IS THE WORST GUN I HAVE EVER SEEN. I OWN A GUN STORE A SEMI LARGE ONE THEY ARE REALLY BAD. KINDA LIKE THE REMINGINGTON 710. THE WEATHERBY VANGUARD IS ALOT BETTER FINISH.
I agree the Mosseberg is no vanguard.
It is a neat rifle for the money.
