*Answers I'm not looking for:

Get a Remington 700
Get a Ruger M77 MKII
Get a Savage
Get a Winchester 70 pre 64 in perfect condition
.300 Win Mag Sucks get a .300 H&H or any other caliber



Please refrain from any other answer except that partains to the direct question...

    Any idea what a Weatherby Vaguard 300 mag. Whitetails Unlimited 2005/2006 edition,#86 of 400 produced with a grey/black laminated monte carlo stock, topped with a Mueller 4-16x50 IGR/AO tactical scope is worth, all are in beautiful condition. The guy wants 600.00 bucks for it, any opinions on this set up would be appreciated .
    Thanks

    How does 1 inch out of the box compare to the Remington, Winchester & Rugers out of the box?

    most rem's and savages will do that and better right from the box,..but the vanguard has had some pretty good press recently. of course Howa makes it, not wthby, probably one of the reasons why[}:)]

    I have read alot about them being a pretty darn good rifle from the start,....I may try one if the price is right (someone needs money[:p])

    1-1.5 Inch groups at 100 yards seems the norm. They sell a SUB MOA variant guaranteed to be under an inch.

    I have the Howa stamped one in 223. Very good and smooth Japanese made gun.

    My trusty Savage 111F in .300WM shoots well within 1 MOA @ 300 yards with factory ammo (Corelokt 180G). The only things I did was installed Rifle Basix trigger set @ lbs and Holland QD muzzle brake.

    Something for you to think about. Good luck!

    I bought a Howa 1500 barreled action in .308, stocked it on a Boyd's JRS Classic stock, and the dam thing shoots better than I do.[:(!] 1 moa is easy for the rifle, not so much for me.

    I have several mark V's and have always been kind of a snob when it came to vanguards, but I recently picked up a 300 wtby mag in a vangaurd from somebody needing the money ($250 with cheap leupold scope) and I was going to use it to do a little trading, but after shooting it I decided to keep it. I can hold it at one inch. I cant speak for the whole line but this one impressed me.

    I have a Howa 1500 in 300 win mag.(same as a Vanguard) It will shoot 1 min if I do my part. Very inexpensive rifle-I found it used in the rack at a local gun shop on clearance for $200.00. I spent $200.00 for a Burris scope and now it's my favorite rifle to kill coyotes.
