Weatherby vanguard in the B&C stock, stainless for $800 off tardme. The gentle man who we got it off was going to turn it into a 260 at the time so that's about 2012(pre creedmore) so I've owned my humble 308 for 10 years now.

It started off with the B&C stock, 24" barrel and a Vortex 4-16x44 HST.

I Shot a few animals with it but I have changed her around a bit.

20" barrel suppressed now, threw the pachmyre pad out and put a limbsaver on, Vx5 2-10 and a Stug stock. I'd like to shorten it down to 16" or 18" but it shoots so well the way it is I don't have the heart to.

Shot my biggest stag to date with it, I've shot goats, pigs, reds( no fallow my 284 seems to have a habit of yeeting them).

It's definitely getting on in age as it needs a new floorplate spring as it doesn't always pick up the second round. Plus I'd also like to get a half cock installed.

It won't shoot any worse if you shorten it, I'm sure you know howa 1500 parts are interchangeable for mag springs etc
