[QUOTE="Nomosendero, post: 1719210, member: 3622"] Yes & because of that capacity which is close to 264WM (if throated properly) in my view at least is pretty close to ideal. I have a M700 270 sitting around not working much. I am going to watch a little while first but the game is different than just 10 years ago. We have a lot of brass companies now, unlike the old days. I suspect if they see some gun building activity I think we will have another brass choice or two. As far as Weatherby just wanting to sell expensive rifles, I don't buy that for a second. Why would they have the Vanguard rifle at all then? I have been in sales/Marketing for over 30 years & I believe they are starting right. They want to have the spotlight on their light rifle with this offering short term, until all potential buyers in that market know it exists, that won't take long, maybe a few months. Remember, this way they are not just selling a cartridge for now but a "concept". They also know the people that want to do a "build" will know about this even quicker because of Social Media/Forums like this. But the big part of their volume is the Vanguard & a profit percentage of those no doubt is quite good, and this would drive higher ammo sales, so profit in total dollars goes to the bottom line. I would say in total confidence when they get the message out they desire with their concept the Vanguard will appear. [/QUOTE]
