[QUOTE="Trickymissfit, post: 958389, member: 25383"] I've been called every name in the book for my comments on the Weatherby Vanguard rifle series. They are just over achievers right out of the box. Another that simply amazed me for an out of the box gun was the older Sako with the factory set trigger. I saw a couple in 6mm PPC that shot mid threes out of the box with no load development what so ever. A very impressive feat in my eyes. Had the Vanguards had a better barrel, I sure they would have been sub half inch guns out of the box. On the otherhand some rifles we buy are known not to be fantastically tight grouping rifles. Something like a Ruger #1, or an 1885 falling block will never shoot with a good bolt gun (or will they?) But we love them just they way they are. I love Savage 99's, and Sako Finnwulfs. These rifles won't shoot with the big dogs any day of the week. But the have a nitch in my heart. I often see posted targets from folks with three shots looking pretty good, but I'm a five shot person on multi targets. You take a six or nine target board with five shots under a half inch and your looking pretty danged good in my book, no matter who built the rifle. But don't waste your time showing me a three shot one up target. gary [/QUOTE]
