[QUOTE="oldpilot, post: 1717742, member: 87110"] Although I have a number of "favorite" rifles, I did get a 6.5-300 Weatherby Mag in a Vanguard II, 26" barrel. I have set the trigger to 2.25 lbs, no creep and had an accubrake added. I really like it, performance is fantastic, and recoil is about like a 6mm. It really likes the 130 Gr Swift in factory ammo, and I have added four boxes of Weatherby brass. I have loaded 130 grain Swifts and 140 Bergers and both exceed the factory stuff by about 70 and 35 fps respectively. Bergers are .6" and Swifts .4" groups. If it is anything like my other WBYs the Brass will last a long time (one box of 7mm Wby Mag has 11 reloads on it). I will use this on my up coming Coues deer hunt. Really a nice performer in a really inexpensive rifle. [/QUOTE]
