My first deer rifle was a Weatherby vanguard deluxe. Beautiful gun that's just got a classic look. I've gotten into purpose built rifles and built some fun guns on custom actions and carbon/fiberglass stocks over the last few years but keep dreaming of a classic build with some history but updated tech. I've got a line on an old German made mark v deluxe that's like my original vanguard but beefier and in need of some severe tlc but also worthy of investing in a new carbon barrel. My goals are:
- Old school polished bluing
- redo stock to remove dents and bring back high gloss and add a pachmayr pad
- carbon barrel 23"
-threaded for a suppressor
-adding qd swivels to left side of stock
- optics a 3-15 German made scope
- change 300 wby mag to win mag for simplicity
Has anyone seen a rifle like this and do you think a thinner profile carbon barrel would work in that old wooden stock?
