[QUOTE="Shortmagman, post: 753305, member: 10723"] I just bought a Whetherby Vanguard Series 2 chambered in 270 Win. It is not a range certified one however. I mounted a scope and took it to the range yesterday and zeroed the scope and shot some loads to see how it shot. First I loaded some Hornaday 130 Sp's with IMR-4831 powder. I stared low and was going to work up as I zeroed the scope. I bore sighted the scope and sent one down range at 50 yards. The first shot was high and left, after some adjusting to the scope I sent the second shot down range and found that I was still just a little high and left. After some more adjustment I fired a third shot and hit the orange dot that I was using as a target. I still was a little left but I wanted to see how the gun shot with the load so I fired two more rounds without moving the scope. Well to say the least I was very pleased with this load and the Vanguard. My three shots at 50 yards were measured at .20 inches.. I know this was only 50 yards but this rifle showed great promises. My other loads did not shoot as well, but I was able to put three shots of Remington factory ammo into one inch at 100 yards. I have loaded some more 130 Hornady SP's with IMR-4831 and I am ready to take them to the range and see if this gun shoots them in less that 1/2 inch which I think this gun is capable of. So from my limited experience I think you should be well pleased with a Weatherby Vanguard. [/QUOTE]
