[QUOTE="SaskShooter, post: 749531, member: 42520"] I love my Weatherby! I got a Vanguard SS in .243 Win. and I've been using it successfully for years now. Out of the box it shot half MOA with 55 grain Winchester Supreme Ballistic Silvertips, and around 3/4 MOA with 95 grain XP3's. After I did a free-float, glass bedding job, and trigger job (all back when I was 16) the gun shot several 1/4 MOA groups with mildly loaded 69 grain Berger HBCFB Match bullets. I really, REALLY prefer it to the Remingtons I've used and owned. The Vanguard is built like a tank, and it shows. Only gripe is that the synthetic stock is made to be pressure bedded, and it's too flimsy to take a free float. After some goofing around, I just bought a Boyds' laminate thumbhole stock. [/QUOTE]
