[QUOTE="Sako7STW, post: 716477, member: 2112"] I am very familiar with the Weatherby's as my bro shoots a .300 Roy in a Mark V Syn. and my Dad shoots a .257 Roy in Mark V Deluxe. I really like the .300 but it doesn't offer much over my 7STW. Then again not much really does till I get out past 1000 yards but that's not the purpose of this rifle. I have rarely had any shots present themselves that I can take advantage of long range shooting. WHere we hunt the elk are much more mobile that high mountain elk. Usually when we find elk they are on the run and there is never time to properly set up a long range shot. In 8 years now I can think of only 2 situations that MAYBE a true long range shot could have been made. Anything else has been 500 and under. So with this gun I am thinking shorter range with thumb hole type stock as I love how they feel and I think offer better abilities offhand/quick target acquisition shooting. I can afford whatever gun I want but in my experiences I dont think spending huge money is really necessary. I have heard some great reports on the Vanguards and figure if I was to save some money on the rifle I can put way better glass on it. My biggest concern is the trigger actually as I like a light crisp trigger. I had forgot about the vanguard's having the shorter BBL and so backwoods is right, a bigger case isn't going to be effective for me. [/QUOTE]
