[QUOTE="Shortmagman, post: 785619, member: 10723"] I have no experience with a 257 Weatherby, but just two months ago in bought a Weatherby S2 Vanguard in 270 Winchester. For the money the S2 Vanguard in a very good deal. I own a Remington CDL in 280 Rem.,sometimes I shoot both guns at the range at the same time so that I can make comparisons. You ask about the barrel and from my experience with just one of each rifle they are very near the same with regard to copper fouling. I had to adjust the Remington trigger to get it to about 3lbs, while the Vanguard came out to the box with a 2lb 13 oz trigger that I would compare with some of the Timney trigger that I have on some other guns. I love the three position safety. How does it shoot? I have a load with the CDL that has shot better but I have had longer to develop that load. My best three shot group with 140 Nosler BT's and IMR-4831 powder is under .4 inches. This load will shoot near a .5 inch group time after time. So I think the S2 Vanguard is well worth the money.
