[QUOTE="Top Cat, post: 528962, member: 4532"] You raise an interesting point... but Howa doesn't offer the 300 Weatherby chambering in their product line, so they don't have to accommodate it. At the moment, I don't have a Vanguard action handy, but the mag box on a fairly recent Howa in 30-06 I have here measures exactly 3.50"...That's very generous headroom for a 30-06 or any of the standard length magnum cases, but is still too tight for the 300 Weatherby round. There's easily enough room to stretch the Howa action to fit a longer mag box but not without opening up the mag well. I'd have to take a closer look at the Vanguard side-by-side with this one to see how they compare dimensionally. TC [/QUOTE]
