[QUOTE="GOCougs3006, post: 889494, member: 39565"] About two years ago I bought a Vanguard S2 in .300 Win Mag with the idea of making some improvements and basically having 'semi' custom gun. I bedded the action in a B&C Medalist stock, free floated the barrel, and replaced the factory trigger with a Timney. After all of that I am into the rifle about $850. With the backcountry you get Cerekote coating which you know is worth some $$, you also get a fluted barrel if you are concerned about weight. Although it doesn't look like its any heavier of a contour, so you are basically getting a normal Vanguard barrel with fluting. IMO if you are looking for a rifle that is a step up from a plain old production rifle, but don't want or need a full custom outfit then the Backcountry for $900 would be a good deal. Especially since Weatherby guarantees all of their Vanguards to shoot sub-MOA. [/QUOTE]
