[QUOTE="socalhunter, post: 610936, member: 41145"] Thanks guys . I might very well go with a Wby Vanguard since they are priced right and I have not heard anything bad about them plus they have a 2yr warranty. IMO the problem with Wby cartridges is not that they are not effective it is that if I for any reason I am on a hunting trip and for some reason I lost my cartridges they would be hard to replace vs the more common calibers. The problem with Gunbroker is that if I bought a lemon it would be very time consuming to go to another state and take them to small claims court. For Calif hunters a potential problem with Wby cartridges for those who for various reasons cant handload is that we must use for a good portion of our state non lead ammo thus the more common calibers are a better choice. I have in the past bought very nice used shotguns with no problems and the two stores I mentioned do warranty their firearms. I have been fortunate to to have to take my shotguns in for repair. I was interested in the BSA and other less common brands since the fore mentioned BSA might of been a real good deal ; I just am not very familiar with that brand. Thanks; Socalhunter [/QUOTE]
