[QUOTE="sdkidaho, post: 310793, member: 19932"] Thanks Roy - I appreciate the comments. I'm sold on the 300 WSM, and now from these comments: ...I feel good about the Weatherby. I just wasn't sure if the Howa was a cheaper item they put in their Vanguard line to make them inexpensive and I didn't want to buy something that was going to be junk. I did, and I have owned a Savage in the past, a 270. I liked the gun, but really never did much shooting or hunting with it. The Savage was one of the ones I went in and tried out initially when I was looking at all of the rifles. The Weatherby just felt the best and seemed to shoulder more naturally for me. I am reading up on the accu-stock though, in this article: [U][URL="http://www.shootingtimes.com/gunsmithing/ST_bedarifle_200904/index.html"]To Bed A Rifle[/URL][/U] Just like this beauty here: [U][URL="http://www.weatherby.com/product/rifles/vanguard/submoa_stainless"]Vanguard Sub-MOA Stainless | Rifles | Products | Weatherby.com[/URL][/U] Again, the only thing holding me back on that is the cost. I'm thinking that if I go with the $400 Vanguard model I can afford nicer optics for it, or am I thinking backwards here? I was thinking the $400 for the rifle, and $400 or a bit more for a scope for it. Or should I be thinking $800 for the rifle and $2-300 for the scope?
