Weatherby vanguard

Post by sdw »

Anybody here have one? If so, how do you like it? Pros and cons? Does it meet the sub MOA guarantee they have?

I had one years ago, and traded it. One of my biggest mistakes.

It was a walnut stocked .243 and was very accurate. No complaints here, and I’d buy another if I came up on the right one.

I had one years ago in a 300 Wby Mag. I had no problem getting sub MOA with it but I handloaded for it and never shot any factory ammo through it. The Vanguards use a Howa action and not Weatherby's 9 lug bolt/action.

I've got a Howa 1500 300 WinMag that's waiting to be loaded for next. It has the textured all weather stock and feels good in hand, hope it shoots as good as it feels!
