Shouldn't be to hard to get a bolt.

Did he keep the bolt just to fuck with you?

Make sure you have the gun checked by a certified gunsmith. I would hate to think that the reason the bolt is missing is that there was some kind of damage that could lead to catastrophic failure if fired with a new bolt.

If your luck is like mine, the bolt is $600 and the rest of the rifle is $25..... :eek:

Weatherby Vanguard is made by Howa.

Brownell's may have a replacement.
