[QUOTE="MontanaRifleman, post: 335760, member: 11717"] Tank, I sure hope you're getting a commision :) That model 12 is a 10 lb beast :rolleyes: I think I would rather opt for a 8 1/2 lb Sendero, but too bad they don't have it in a WSM. I was just foolin around with my S&W M1500 (Howa M1500) 7mm RM. Now that is a solid peice of work. The forward action screw comes up into the recoil lug which is actually part of the receicer body. Interesting.... Its in a beautiful walnut stock that I stripped the glossy polyurethane off and oiled it to a nice satin finsh. The guard and mag box are all one peice, heavy (read solid quality) construction. The bolt is almost as smooth as my Sako 85. I need to get this thing bedded and need to get a B&C Medalist for it. I just adjusted the trigger down to about a very crisp 2lbs. It is sweet. This rifle was purchased in '82 and has been sitting in my closet for most of that time. Maybe a 100 rounds or so through it and it's a tack driver. I haven't seen any of the newer Howas or Vanguards out of the stock, so not sure if they are like this one. If it's the same trigger, it is extremely easy to adjust, just turn the forward screw to the deisered weight. So if the Vanguard action is like this one, my vote is still the Vanguard gun) And I would take the SPS off the list. The stocks are junk and what you get for accuracy is a roll of the dice. You could get one for a build, but I would sooner get a Howa. The only Rem for me are the Sendero's. [/QUOTE]
