[QUOTE="MontanaRifleman, post: 919656, member: 11717"] S2 Vanguards range from less than $500 for blued to up to maybe $600 or so for stainless. The Wetherby Mark V's are a whole different animal than the Vanguards. Different actions, barrels and stocks. They both "usually" shoot very well. On every older Howa/Vanguard I have ever owned (4 of them), I have been able to easily tune the triggers to a crisp 1.5 lbs... couldn't tell the difference between them and a Timney if you were blindfolded. The newer trigger (which I have on my S2 223) is one of the best factory triggers on the market. It is 2 stage, 3 position safety and breaks very clean @ about 3 lbs. Unfortunately you can't tune them much lighter than that. A smith might be able to adjust the spring but I can shoot it fine @ 3lbs.\ S2 Vanguards have plastic stocks which is OK for my 223 for the time being, but it will be getting upgraded to a B&C Medalist before long.
