Overview
This sporter-style stock is built for Weatherby Vanguard and compatible short-action rifles in the Howa 1500, Smith & Wesson 1500, and Mossberg 1500 pattern with standard barrel contour. It pairs a cheekpiece and no-checkering exterior with a full aluminum bedding block that runs from the grip to the front swivel stud, along with a pressure pad and a 1-inch Pachmayr Decelerator recoil pad. The 13.5-inch length of pull and approximately 2.25-pound weight make it a practical option for hunters looking to update a rifle’s fit and handling without adding unnecessary bulk. Tan and black finish gives it a straightforward field-ready look.

Considerations & Trade-offs
- Designed for Weatherby Vanguard, Howa 1500, Smith & Wesson 1500, and Mossberg 1500 rifles in short action, so fit is specific rather than universal.
- Intended for standard barrel contour only, which limits use with rifles outside that contour specification.
- The sporter stock has no checkering, so it offers a cleaner exterior but less textured grip surface than checkered stocks.
- With a 13.5-inch length of pull and approximately 2.25-pound weight, it may not suit every shooter’s fit preference or balance preference.
