weatherby vanguard SUB MOA

[bigbearhunter]

I just bought a new Weatherby Vanguard in their new SUB MOA. My daughter took my ultalight for herself so I went looking for another. Well I found this and my buddy at the gun store says it will outshoot the ultra light? Not sure but for the $$ savings I'll give it a try.
Anyone using one yet?? Mine is in 257 wtby mag same as my ultra light.

bigbearhunter - I like to shoot my inherited Mark V Deluxe in .257 Weatherby. Patterns are nearly always under 0.5 inch at 100 yards. I applaud your gun and caliber selection because the Vanguard has been overlooked by years. The points of manufacture have changed but the Weatherby accuracy doesn't seem to. One thing I think you have going for your Vanguard is the selection of the .257 Weatherby. This cartridge was one of Roy Weatherby's favorites because of its high speed and accuracy. Few cartridges can match that .257 Weatherby even though the "gun press" writers always flock to the latest - greatest caliber (like the WSSM series; good but not in the ballpark for the .25 calibers). Just my 2 cents. -Sloppy

I'll tell you I swear by my Weatherby's I said I wouldn't by another gun that wasn't a Weatherby well I lied. I bought a 7mm barrel for my encore so that when I go to Nova Scotia in OCT. I can hunt with my Muzzldr and have a gun also. I didn't want to carry 2 guns. Will see how I like it. I turned one of my buddies into a Weatheby nut also he swears by my ultra light that my daughter took over now she won't let him shoot it so he is looking for a 7mmwtbymag

Dad just bought a Vanguard in 30.06 I tell you that gun holds the closest group I have ever shot. A quarter will cover all 3 holes at 100 yards!!!!
