[QUOTE="Hoss50, post: 2750029, member: 109801"] I don't have a "real" weatherby but would love one someday. I have/had 2 basic black Vanguards. They both shot .75 MOA or better. They both just flat worked and I like calibers that are just a little off beat vs the mainstream. I always wanted a 257 weatherby because 257 was an awesome round and at the time heavies weren't a thing and 257 anything was not nearly as popular as it is right now. This rifle killed my first elk in 2015. It was a 260-280 yrd shot with a heavy crosswind. The 257 shoots later it seems and with not alot of wind hold the first shot went right in the pocket. She ran a little and the second shot went right in the pocket on the other side as she turned around, then fell over. I also talked my dad into buying a 300 weatherby because when I was young and dumb I liked rounds with alot of horsepower. In the late 90's, no round was available in a $400 rifle that had more horsepower than a 300 weatherby. I used this rifle to kill my elk in 2021. Both walk were cows, but neither went more than about 40 yards. One day I will own a classic wood stock shinny traditional weatherby MK5 though. I do love the classic look. [/QUOTE]
