[QUOTE="robotman, post: 432901, member: 24038"] CRNA, I had a Weatherby Vanguard. Don't buy one to "fix up" as the action is "Okay" but nothing special. Mine showed clear indications of greater wear on one bolt lug than the other. It shot that way too. Heavier loads with bigger bullets didn't shoot well. It was a 30.06 that I tried all kinds of loads with but never could get inside 1 MOA. I put a 22-250 barrel on it and could shoot 3/4" groups with it if I put the gun in a vise at the range. After 400 rounds or so the action was noticeably wearing on the bolt lugs and bolt face. I sold it and bought some Savages and have not looked back... [/QUOTE]
