[QUOTE="Dr. Vette, post: 974172, member: 22335"] The magazine length is definitely shorter in a Vanguard than a Mark V. You will be limited, and I don't think (offhand) that there are any longer magazines available for a Vanguard. The Vanguard I set up for 300 Wby is limited to 3.565 COAL, while the Mark V is 3.666 with a bit of room to spare. You might want to think about selling the Vanguard and buying an Accumark in 300 Weatherby. They are common to find on the market as "used on one hunt," have a larger contour barrel, better stock and longer magazine. I suspect that your overall price would be very similar and you would not have to worry any more about the magazine length. There is one on GB now for $1199 with a scope you'd probably sell and net out at about $1000. [/QUOTE]
