Default Wal-Mart Weatherby Takes 1st Buck

On Monday I got my first deer with my Weatherby Vanguard from Wal-Mart. It's a .300 Weatherby. I shoot 150gr Barnes XLC bullets with a full charge of RL22. The manual claims somewhere above 3400 fps. The big bodied 8-point dropped in its tracks from a heart shot that entered from slightly above. A little in front and in between the shoulders and out the bottom of the ribs on the opposite side. This rifle is great in my book and now I have the game as well as the bench-rest to back it up. For only $388 too!
