[QUOTE="Bbear, post: 1185622, member: 7898"] I have 2 of the Weatherby Vanguards - a 243 and a 7mm08 and just had a 1500 follow me home in a 308. The 243 shot a 4-shot group at 500 yards that's smaller than a business card (2.5"x1.5"). The 7mm08 puts 5 inside of an inch and this 308 is looking like it's going to enjoy the 165 SGK pushed by 4451. Triggers are adjustable on the Vanguards and can be dropped down light enough for a hunting rig to be very sweet. Still need to play with the 1500 a bit more. They are not what you'd consider as a light weight rifle. But, they aren't all that bad to tote around on the mountains. There are definitely worse choices out on the market to pick. Here's the 500 yard-4-shot group I mentioned: [URL=http://s1072.photobucket.com/user/Bbear53/media/500%20yard%204-shot.jpg.html][IMG]http://i1072.photobucket.com/albums/w376/Bbear53/500%20yard%204-shot.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [/QUOTE]
