Several months ago, dazzled by the thought of getting that much rifle with the Weatherby name on it, I plunked down just a little over $600 and bought one in .300WSM. The stock was nice, fit was average, blueing was very good. The point I want to mention is the owner of the gun store where I bought it is pretty knowlegeable and with several of the regular customers in the store, he had them all come over and check out the test target that came with the gun. Three holes all overlapped dead center, he said it was the best test target he ever saw. I took it out to the range just to roughly get it sighted in and had three black powder guys come over and ask what I was shooting. They admired the gun and then invited me to check out my target thru their spotting scope. Three shots at 100 yards you could cover with a quarter--needless to say, I'm very impressed with the Vanguards accuracy-----------John
