I have owned two weatherby mark V's and neither were more accurate than the rifles that I bought for less than half the price.The vanguard however is a very good rifle for the money and it comes with the same accuracy guarantee as the much more expensive weatherby rifles.Of course a 1-1/2" accuracy guarantee is not all that great anyway since all tikka rifles must shoot 1" groups before leaving the factory and they cost less than half the price of a weatherby accumark.
