Overview
Built for long-action Vanguard and compatible 1500-pattern rifles, this sporter stock is aimed at hunters who want a straightforward replacement with a classic Weatherby-style profile. It features a cheekpiece, no checkering, and a full aluminum bedding block that runs from the grip to the front swivel stud, along with a pressure pad for standard barrel contour setups. The 13.5-inch length of pull and 1-inch Pachmayr Decelerator recoil pad give it a practical fit for field use, while the tan and black finish keeps the look subdued and functional. At approximately 2.25 pounds, it adds a solid, purpose-built foundation without unnecessary complexity.

Considerations & Trade-offs
- Designed for Weatherby Vanguard, Howa 1500, Smith & Wesson 1500, and Mossberg 1500 rifles in long action, so fit is specific rather than universal.
- Built for standard barrel contour rifles only, which limits compatibility with heavier or non-standard barrel profiles.
- The sporter stock has a cheekpiece but no checkering, so the exterior is relatively plain and may offer less texturing than checkered stocks.
- At approximately 2.25 pounds with a 13.5-inch length of pull, it reflects a fixed fit and weight profile that may not suit every shooter without adjustment options.
