Brian, my advice would be get to one of the vanguards as they are not that much money. Keep your WSM, put it up for a while and shoot your new 300 Weatherby vanguard. If you ever want to shoot something a little "less" you have your WSM. Then you could pick up one of the Conquest demo scopes that Cameraland offers or a new Leup. 2 x 7 VXII and your not into a huge rifle investment. Me I like the fat shoulder on the WSM, I size my brass just so that the my Kimber bolt closes and shoot a mild load of RL19 with 180 grain Hornady's, its my short action 30-06 improved, the brass lasts forever and it kills everything I point it at
