Great video Murphey, nice shooting!!
Its turning into a neat little budget rifle. It will definitely be interesting to see how it shoots.
I did this on my Howa 1500 in 308. I had to bed my stock with the new triggerguard. Works nice.
Good video,..thanks for showing this. I wish you could have shown it full of cartridges and then load and eject each one to show how well it works.
I'll be ordering a kit tomorrow for my Weatherby Vanguard S2.
Welcome back!
I wonder if they make one for a Remington 700...? Not so sure if I like the effort required to seat the mag though.
Great video!!
Thanks!
Supposed to put the new trigger in with the magazine inserted so it settles right and u won’t have a mag insert issue 👍
Its not too bad, and I am sure it will wear in. I don't know if they make one for the Remy...
You do that safety check first bowah ! Now get in tha house !
Dang you git the rifle im saving up for
murpheymuskets, have you shot the gun with the clip in yet? I found they do make one for a Rem 700 but want to know how the clip holds up in shooting being a polymer plastic vs an aluminum.
Nice video. I like the Weatherby Vanguard rifles but i can't think of a reason i would need a detachable magazine on one. Deer and groundhogs don't normally stick around for more than a shot or two. Although I would give my left nut for a Ruger gunsight scout in .223 for coyote/ groundhog hunting and that has a detachable magazine built in.
To each their own
Saving it for another video :)
Weatherby's torque spec for the guard screws is 35 in. lb. according to the manual that came with my rifle. I don't plan to buy this kit, but my Weatherby Vanguard S2 7mm-08 will shoot 1" to 1 1/2" 5 shot groups at 200 yds. with 139 gr. Hornady SST's and 45 gr. of IMR4350 all the time. Remington can suck eggs!
Fortunately with my Vanguard it was a complete drop in. No bedding or shimming required :)
You know you can modify the stock metal trigger guard to accept the magazine. I did it to my Howa 1500 S/A and it works flawless.
Mario- Do you by chance have any info on how to modify the stock metal trigger guard? Thank you
Any info sir?
Just got my S2 in .308, but I don't have a torx bit large enough for the trigger guard screws. What size bit is it?
Hi !! I want to buy a charger like the video for a Weatherby Vanguard in 7mm Rem Mag.
I'm from Spain, we as we do to the payment and shipping ??
Who did you order your trigger mag and magazine from? Id like to buy one.
9 years later what do you think of the rifle and the new magazine?
oh ok. This magazine has ZERO spring tension I went through two different magazines (warranty exchange from Howa) and their both the same...no spring tension. I can remove the mag base plate without pushing the detent in...effortlessly. Sure it's not for a semi auto but damn it needs better stiffness then it has.
Damn ill look for a better alternative, thanks bud
I have much better luck loading any of my rifles when the action is open rather then closed. This process seams to allow proper alignment and seating without added pressure it the magazine.
What conversion did you do exactly I went are there website and could not find any kits for the vanguard just Remington 700 and howa 1500
keenan walker Weatherby vanguards and Howa 1500's are like chevy and GMC trucks. Their parts are interchangeable
Is it possible to get a metal kit instead of the plastic for the s2...?
I recently did this 10 round conversion to my W/V series1 .223. Its very easy, light weight and looks great. But I had trouble with the Second last round not being picked up by the bolt. Not the last, but the second last!!
I took the magazine back and got a new one. Exactly the same problem.
It cycle from 10 down to 3 no problem then wont pick up no.2 I have to push it a couple of millimeters forward with my finger, then the last round no worries.
When we pulled the magazine apart we are thinking its because the last coil of the spring is pushing up on the front of the plate instead of the back?
Has anyone else had this problem? ?
I have 3 magazines (2) 10rd and (1) 5rd and none of them have ever suffered from what you are describing. It sounds to be like your triggerguard might not be sitting in the stock properly; and its off just enough to make that 2nd to last round hard to grab.
Thsnks for the reply. Gun shop suggested that too. I took the trigger gaurd off to having a look if there was anything obvious, and checked that the screws werent loose etc. Perhaps the factory Weatherby stock may need to have some material removed at the butt end of where the trigger gaurd is mounted to get it to seat properly? I am a Fitter machinist by trade, but new to guns.
So it's been a few years how do you like the conversion? I'm contemplating doing this on my rem 700 .30-06
Still loving it! When i made the video though the kit was for short actions only.
+murpheysmuskets I just ordered mine the other day should have it on Friday I wanted to get a 5 and a 10 round magazine but unfortunately the 5's were sold out so I just went with 2 10's to start
where does three gun even begin to come in with a bolt action accessory like this???
Have you never shot a 3gun with a bolt action just for the hell of it?
do the make 1 for Mossberg 30,06.
I'm afraid to ask, but what do they cost?
Being they are nearly identical do you think this would work on the vanguard 2?
Yes. This is a Vanguard 2
@4:28 It's INCH pounds, not FOOT pounds.
My bad, I misspoke.
Thank God you mentioned this. I spent 6 days in harbor freight looking for a torque wrench that had foot pounds!!
Nice stock, I just bought a Weatherby .270, if you don't mind me asking, where did you get your stock??

I just bought a .270 gen 1 Vanguard in a hogue stock from a pawn shop. Nice shape great bore. I paid $350 out the door. I’m a average joe who wanted an above average rifle. I shoot Rem CoreLoks from Walmart. I’m high desert and Mts. It’s all I wanted to carry.
Hepted me make up my mind not to buy plastic....especially for $100.00. ANy one recommend where to get after market 5 or 10 round magazines for the Weatherby Vanguard 2? I bought a OEM magazine and it didn't fit my particular Weatherby Vanguard. Sent it back.
hi, whats is the max cartridge overall lenght that fit it this mags? regards
Fine gun parts from Tupperware !
do you have any opinion about the best mods or upgrades for the weatherby vanguard 2s?
In my opinion all they need is a good scope an mount and maybe one of these mag conversions.
murpheysmuskets
very cool. I've got my scope, but i've still yet to figure out how to mount it. thanks for the videos and comments!
thanks man!
Anyone know if these fit on a mark v
Dude, I don't mean to be negative, but you can't be giving the mag a non recommend without shooting it. Especially because it has less spring pressure than a pmag, it's a single stack 5 round 308, a completely different design.
I payed 230 usd with a 10 rd mag. American made is hard to get.
The back bolt hole cracked on me when installing. I was using a torque wrench set for 45 inch.pd
is this a short or long action conversion kit
Short action only.
+Jonathan Boggs you can get long action and short action
+Jimmy Mcginnis im planning on getting a 308 so i jst wanted to find out
+Jonathan Boggs I just got mine this week. the rear bolt hole cracked when i was installing. I had my torque wrench set for 45 inch.pd. so be careful when installing. Other then that it works great
+Jimmy Mcginnis thanks for the advise im goin with a weatherby vangaurd n cant wait for it
And in Norway this din NOT cost 90 usd.
Can you verify 100% that this works for the Vanguard Series 2 308? Last I inquired about this they said it would not work even though it seems it would be a drop in.
The rifle pictured is a Vanguard 2 .308
murpheysmuskets That's what I thought, thanks.
$98 for a piece of plastic that costs about $3-$4 to make
You keep repeating the same thing over and over again, however good review, make it precise, thanks.
Good quality rifle, but that camo is ugly!
