[QUOTE="Kiwi Nate, post: 353966, member: 8533"] The Weatherby Vanguard rifle action is made by Howa in Japan. The Howa action (Vanguard) is an "almost" direct copy of the original Sako L and AV series receivers. In theory, any aftermarket stock designed for the Weatherby Vanguard should fit the Sako actions with a small amount of inletting and of course, proper bedding. The new model Sako's differ in the bolt/ lock up system and the stupid piece of square bar stock that runs along the bottom of the receiver for the magazine release. Apart from the need to key into the stock to fit the piece of bar stock, the basic casting of the action is the same as it always has been. If you get a chance, see if you can get your hands on a Vanguard stock to check the basic fit and hole centers. You can also get an insight to the underside of a Howa action on my site- I used a Howa action as a demo for my bedding compound instructions. It might help you a bit, just as an initial look anyway.
