[QUOTE="newtonian, post: 1454019, member: 70186"] I have a Weatherby Vanguard II .30-06. It does have a 1 MOA guarantee that I can occasionally achieve. The gun has a few peculiarities. The composite stock puts an upward pressure on the barrel; weird, but that is the way they do it. The trigger pull is adjustable, but still heavy, but good and OK for hunting. It appears to be button rifled and original circumferential tool markings are still visible between the riflings. The barrel needs 2 or three rounds to foul and loses what accuracy it has before 20 rounds. It fouls quicker and worse than any other rifle I've owned. It took at least 300 rounds to come to a fairly accurate load. As I consider it pretty much expendable, I took it to Africa last month and took 5 animals with 6 shots, 2 for a huge kudu. Once one knows the peculiarities it is an OK but not great gun, definitely not a first choice; I'll keep it as a spare. [/QUOTE]
