[QUOTE="Bang4theBuck, post: 1582461, member: 73596"] Well, I can tell you about the downside of an "Accuracy Gaurantee". I bought a WBY Vanguard 'Range Certified' in 300 Wby I bought it for the additional accuracy that it was supposed to have over the std model, and for the upgraded trigger. I am a hand loader, and figured if they could guarantee 1moa out of the box, I should be able to cut that in half with hand loads. This was not the case, if fact the rifle wouldn't shoot under 1MOA consistently with anything I put through it, including that crazy expensive WBY ammo. I sent the rifle back and weatherby sent it back to me stating that it shot .92 moa with factory WBY 150 grain spritzer load and thus was not their problem. That was one of the only loads from Weatherby that I did not try. I didnt buy a 300 WBY to shoot 150 grain bullets. I ended up having to trade it in on something else as it was not liking anything that loaded for it....Took a bath on that deal....no more Weatherby for me! [/QUOTE]
