Had Anyone Tried Weatherby Vanguard Vias Sportsman Warehouse Exclusive Rifle?

[timberelk]

I've searched all over and can't find any reviews or feedback on this KUIU Vias Weatherby Vanguard sold only buy Sportsmans Warehouse. (I've narrowed it down between this one and the Weatherby Vanguard wilderness)

I'm looking at the 6.5 CM with the 26" barrel in this KUIU vanguard

Does it have a full length aluminum bed block?

Spoke with weatherby and tech support told me there is no pillared needing or aluminum bed block... the tech support person stated it was the same stock as the vanguard but it has obviously been dipped

I figured on a $900 rifle there would be some sort of bedding!

The backcountry, wilderness and accuguard have the b&c stocks that come with aluminum bedding block?

That is correct, I confirmed that with the tech support person. Only downer is that the wilderness and backcountry aren't offered in a 6.5 Creed

Easy way to tell on a Vanguard - if you can see the evidence of the "grip panels" under the camo, it's the synthetic stock. You can see them in some of the pictures of the Vias rifle.
The B&C stocks always have smooth grips and forearms. This was true with some of the painted Series 1 stocks as well.

Bump... can any one attest to the rifles accuracy? The no beeding is concerning

Since it's a standard vanguard that's dipped you will have poi shifts because the stock is flexible and has a pressure point on the barrel
