Howa bolt in weatherby vanguard s2

[BenR]

Can it be done. Thieves broke into my car the other day and ripped out a lock box containing bolts to two of my rifles. One of them was my staino 308 vanguard s2. I'm having trouble sourcing a bolt but can find howas. The howa bolts don't go in as is but I was wondering if I swapped the trigger and components across as well if it will work and how much head spacing work is involved. I have a couple of howas in the safe and can make it work if its possible but will have to take it to a gunsmith for headspacing. Thanks in advance. Ben

A Howa bolt should fit as the Vanguards are basically just Howa barreled actions that has been rebranded.
