Not for Lefties I won a Vanguard Deluxe, which was the last year of the really fancy wood. But I'm a left handed fellow, and this rifle won't adapt itself. Sooo-, I picked up a Stainless Ruger L.H.in the same 270 Win. and sold the Vanguard for the same $500 price. My rifle was more gun & less scope. While the Ruger is less gun, but more scope. I had a steel tube Weaver, and the Stainless Ruger sports a black Simmons Aetec variable. Of course I made my sale by explaining why Weatherby had to discontinue the fancy glued on pistol grips. The new Lead Sleds were ripping them off, and the factory's lifetime guarantee put the onus on them to repair what those sleds did. The buyer liked the California styling, and I think he will be very happy. I had to clean a ton of gunk out of the stainless barrel, but I held my breath and it seems to be accurate. So the Howa family is becoming a known quantity, and readily accepted, at least by the 90% of the population which is right handed. At least in my case, it brought someone with five C notes in his wallet, to my door. All I was out was the price of the local want ad. And incidentally, my Ruger replacement is a later Mark II, with the true controlled feed. This bolt face is smooth and doesn't have the earlier 'Steel Ring', around it. It uses a blade ejector, not the early pin style. So I'm hoping the barrel will shoot without being filthy dirty, like the first Mark II's. I hope this gives some balance to the thread's take on the Howa family of rifles. Those fancy Deluxe Vanguards were the top of the heap, so to speak. They were a little on the heavy side, with 24' bbl's., and the Oriental hardwood stocks. My factory target was definitely sub M.O.A., but it was only three shots. As my barrel warmed up, it did start to walk, so there was more to do with bedding the barrel. |

Rated 5 out of 5 by Ally from Excellent Headset!I received this product for a late Birthday present. I was so excited and now that I have tried them I am so impressed! Fantastic sound and mic! Soooo many features with the software! I have fun playing with the configuration too- you can do Karaoke with these things! I love the vibration feature during gaming it adds to the immersion. To those of you complaining about the drivers not working with Windows 8, take advice from an IT Support Tech (yes its my career), run the driver exe in compatibility mode for Windows 7 and Voila! I can verify that this headset works perfectly on Windows 8 so one needs to worry.
