[QUOTE="WanderingGoatie, post: 2482473, member: 94880"] 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?
