[QUOTE="GOCougs3006, post: 889085, member: 39565"] I have a series 1 (1st version with the better stock IMO) Vanguard in .30-06 that drives tacks with 165 Ballistic Tips, I recently bought a S1 (2nd version with cheaper stock that has the sharp angle at the front) in .257 Wby Mag that shoots just over MOA with limited tinkering of my handloads. and an S2 .300 Win Mag that I put in a B&C Medalist stock and bedded it myself and free floated the barrel. This rifle is shooting 1 MOA and I'm still working on getting a better load worked up. All this being said I am obviously a fan of Weatherby Vanguards. I am in the same boat as the OP and looking into the new Vanguard Backcountry. Wilkup if you don't mind can you give us a little better idea of the price range you are talking about? I am weighing the pros and cons of getting a production rifle like the backcountry or just dropping the $$ on a custom. [/QUOTE]
