[QUOTE="left handed gun, post: 2336554, member: 75858"] I have a Weatherby Vanguard, Sub MOA Model (that was the model name, not sure if they still make it), in .300 Wby Mag. It really is Sub-MOA, with the right bullets, and the right protocol. I have it scoped with a Meopta Meopro. If you blast off several quick shots on a warm day, the factory bbl will heat up, the third or fifth shot, if you're a five shot grouper may stray a bit. You want to check the tightness on the strain screws occasionally. The Weatherby site has a place to post questions, or at least it used to, and they were pretty responsive. They will also tell you which bullets (at least which of their house brand bullets) in their experience have the best accuracy in a particular caliber. Relatively light gun and that caliber makes for some pretty good recoil. I would think an '.06 would be more of a kicker than say .308 or a 6.5, especially at the heavier spectrum of bullets. Less than the belted .300 magnums. On the other hand, it would not be bad to carry around. [/QUOTE]
