The Vanguard Series 2 in .340 Weatherby Magnum is the heaviest Vanguard proprietary-caliber configuration, providing dangerous-game-class performance at a sub-$800 price point. The Howa 1500 magnum action handles the .340 Wby Mag reliably, though recoil management from the standard synthetic stock demands a quality pad. One of the rarest Vanguard calibers.
