Weatherby Vanguard Camilla Wilderness Green / Black 7mm-08 20" Barrel 5-Rounds

Again I was disappointed, for the second time I was sold a display as if new. I cannot believe that Bass Pro continues to do this. Just tell the truth and quit trying to slip displays in for NIB. Sad at least.

Where to begin? I bought a Weatherby Vangaurd Camilla in 308 Win. for my wife and what a disaster! First, the rifle's stock is full of scuffs right out of the factory box. Second, the first stage of the two-stage trigger is horrific. The take-up on the first stage has an 1/8" of slop, yes, you read that right an 1/8"! Finally, and most critical. The chamber was so tight I could barely force the bolt to close on factory ammunition and no chance of closing with resized brass. Thankfully, I build a few rifles a year and had two sets of "go", "no go" gauges in the shop, neither "go" gauge worked. I called Weatherby and they stated that all rifles go through a strict QA process, blah, blah, blah... Fortunately, in addition to the gauges I had a 308 Win. finish reamer in the drawer and after a couple of turns with the reamer the chamber is now in spec. and the bolt closes smoothly with factory ammo and reloads. I haven't shot the rifle yet, but my expectations are not high. I know Howa builds the Vangaurd series for Weatherby, but I expected so much more from Weatherby.

My wife used to shoot a compact rifle of another brand. She very seldom could shoot a group smaller than 4 inches at 100 yards. I talked her into letting me buy her a Weatherby Camilla in .243. She now shoots .5in groups at 200 yards. Maybe the rifle being designed by women for women has something to do with it but I am sure the barreled action has a lot to do with it. It’s a fine rifle and I will be buying more Weatherby rifles.

I have 3 Vanguards in different calibers. I have the .270, .308 and 6.5 PRC. I love all three. You can’t beat the accuracy and dependability of these rifles. The quality you get at the right price is priceless. I would recommend the Vanguard to anyone looking for a great rifle.

This is the first rifle I have purchased completely on line and the experience could not be easier. I got an excellent price and super fast delivery. Picking a licensed gun store with a FFL to ship to was as simple as picking a cooperating dealer from their list. Filling out the paperwork was a breeze.
