[QUOTE="Buano, post: 590381, member: 21641"] Yes, the Vanguard is a Howa 1500 barreled action. Those that shoot well are marketed as "sub-MOA" rifles (for added $$), which tells me those without that label are not likely going to shoot well without "work". Go to the Weatherby site & look at the many options. The Accumark is their composite stocked version with a heavier stainless-fluted barrel. I've never seen an Accumark that didn't shoot .75 moa or better, and I would expect an Accumark in .257 Weatherby mag to shoot around .25 moa. If I were to buy a .257 mag from Weatherby it would likely be the ultra light weight, which is the same as the Accumark but with a thinner barrel which makes it fitting for L-O-N-G walks over rough ground. There are used Weatherby Mark-V rifles sold all the time. I just saw a nice one sold for $600 with blued metal & a pretty wood stock. (The buyer told me he's shooting .2 moa groups with it.) [/QUOTE]
