Chambered for various popular standard American cartridges from. Is there a way to determine if original barrels are installed? Vanguard (early production) This was Weatherby's Japanese-manufactured economy rifle.

Hope to learn where it was made- what year, ascertained by the S/N prefix with out going to Weatherby.Īre replacement barrels available or any option for newer barrels with changeable chokes?Īlso question if using steel shot would be ill advised. In the mean time I would like to learn of any limitations ahead of time as it will be my sons first shotgun. Pondering my son's admiration of its heft/balance, how well it fit etc has driven me to ask them to transfer it up here so don't have it in my.err ahhh.

First off-please forgive me if this is a repeat.
