I hear ya on that one and that is why I say the howa/weatherby platform is very overlooked. However, most people who know about them do agree, the new series 2 have better features and fit and finish than the older ones. Unless you are really looking to save money, there are no disadvantages to getting the new series 2 rifles.


I wish I could get a barreled HOWA action in 375 H&H, but they dont make em that big. Going to have to get a Zastava 98 or CZ action for that I think.

Weatherby is thinking about making a Vanguard series 2 in .375 Ruger so it can be used as a short/mid range dangerous game rifle at a very attractive price. Hopefully they do it! The Ruger rifles, (which are a mauser action) can be had in 375 H&H and other big bore cartridges for less than $1k which is a good deal. The Rugers are made in USA too! Might be something to think about.

Yeah you can already get the Howa 1500 in 375 Ruger from Legacy Sports International.

Im not big on Ruger's long guns. They are serviceable, but just not my favorite. I should have bought the Remington imported Zastava 98's when they were on closeout.

I've got a Vanguard in .30-06, its a nice piece that will drive tacks at 100 yards. Another overlooked bolt action is the Savage 110 series...I have a 110e that shoots every bit as good as the Vanguard for a lot less money.

As to the original question, I bought myself a used Kahr P45.

Got a "Dissapator" upper for my AR-15 lower.

Santa dropped off a Springfield Armory .45 1911 loaded two tone light weight under the tree. Now all I need is the matching M1A......

Sweet! I love my springfield. Even though it's big and heavy, it's probably one of my favorite carry guns.

I got a CZ 527 Varmint Laminate .223 and a Sightron SII Big Sky 4-16x42!

 

[MolaKule]

I received a Binelli 12 ga. scatter gun with three screw-in chokes.

I really wanted a .243 for Varmint hunting when the other hunting seasons are over.

I almost bought the long slide, but the lightweight version felt great and was on sale!

My brother got a Win Model 100 in .284 plus 150 rounds for $200...
Santa was very good to him !!

I'm a little late to the party...... But I got a gp100 in .357, a 22/45 with a threaded barrel, and a single six.
