The Vanguards' actions are made by Howa. The barrels are Weatherby.

It's an interesting exercise in semantics, because Howa made all Weatherbys, including the Mark V, when they were made in Japan. They still make the Vanguard, which is a Howa 1500 with a few cosmetic touches. Current Mark Vs are made in the US.
Barrels on the Vanguard and the 1500 are the same, both made by Howa.
