[QUOTE="Wachsmann, post: 1219398, member: 10429"] I think you may be getting some of you naming mixed up. The Weatherby Vangard in sub MOA version is not the weatherby Accumark rifle I have been accustom to. The Weatherby Vangard is a Howa that can and will shoot very well but you looses about 100pfs on the 115 BT that are rated at 3400fps with the 24 inch barrel. I used to own one and it did shoot about .75 to .8 inch with weatherby ammo. Now every Weatherby Accumarck I have seen has a heavy flutted 26 inch barrel or longer. But with this all said the 25=06 in the 26 inch will probably really be nipping at the 24 inch barrels heels. Also the expence of the weatherby rounds. For me I sold my 257 and got me a 6.5X284 Norma. Love it and its cheaper to shoot if you hand load with a lot better bullet selection. [/QUOTE]
