... gotta remember those (Weatherby Vanguards) are mostly entry level rifles.
Us serious Looneys are not the target market.

After big game hunting over 40 years without one, I finally bought my first Weatherby rifle (a Vanguard in .300 Wby) 8 years ago. I re-stocked it in prettier wood (with a high rollover comb), and in the short time that I've had this rifle I've successfully used it on hunts in Texas, multiple elk hunts in Montana, 3 trips to Africa, a New Zealand hunt, and this year on a Dagestan Tur hunt in Azerbaijan. I couldn't ask for a better rifle.
Last year I bought another Vanguard, in .308 Win, mainly just for practicing and ringing the 300 and 430 yard steel plates at our local range.
