Key Details

Model Series: The \"VS\" prefix indicates an original Vanguard Series 1 rifle, not a Series 2 (which generally has a \"VB\" prefix).

Manufacturing Date: Rifles with the \"VS\" prefix were generally produced in the time period from the Vanguard‚s introduction in 1970 until around 2008.

Accuracy Guarantee: Vanguards with the \"VS\" prefix have a guaranteed accuracy of 1 ½ inches or better for a three-shot group at 100 yards with premium ammunition, whereas the later \"VB\" Series 2 models guaranteed a sub-MOA (under 1 inch) group.
