Know anything about these rifles??

[Yankeefan]

I have a customer asking about this rifle and have heard nothing about it.

<broken link removed>

He is looking for an entry level firearm, in .243, for his soon to be 12 year old son. He wanted to go used but said if I could find any new one that would be good too. He also said it doesn't matter who makes it as long as it is good; he named off the usual suspects-Remy, Winny, Howa, Tikka, Marlin, Savage, etc.

Here is a review I found on THR from one of their forum members.

Never heard of it but it looks nice. Adjustable trigger too. The web site shows just .270 and .06. unless I missed something. Is it available in .243?

What's the price range?

Sounds like exactly what I was looking for.

Yup it's available in 243.

At the top where it shows the rifle in the lower right hand corner there is a set of arrows to scan through the other models.

According to Mossberg the MSRP is 471. I can get one for you for 365.

I looked at the 770 at Bimart for him but he doesn't want a youth model.

Does the Weatherby Vanguard come in .243? ED price at Bi Mart is $389, on sale often for $359. Nice adjustable trigger...

Yup they make the vanguard in 243. If Bi-mart is selling them for that price they aren't making but a few dollars on them.

Bi-mart probably makes an OK profit on them, but they probably buy a hundred of them at a time. There's no way the average FFL can compete with them on price. That being said, I don't buy guns from Bi-mart. Nothing against Bi-mart, but for the size of investment most firearms represent, I want someone that can provide customer service and help me out if I run into a problem. I'm willing to pay a few dollars more and buy from an FFL I trust and is knowledgable.
