I have a 2006 model Mark V in 270 Weatherby and it is very accurate, 3 shots touching on the average day with Weatherby Ammo. I have a late 1980's Vanguard deluxe in 270 Weatherby that recently put 5 shots in the same hole that could be covered with a nickel. My Vanguard S2 in 300 Weatherby is another that is scary accurate 3 shots under a dime with weatherby brand ammo. So I cannot complain one bit. I have not tried any handloads out of any of them as the $36.00 dollar a box Weatherby select ammo shoots really well.
The Mark V and the Vanguard deluxe are both bedded and barrels are floated ( bought both of them used that way). The 300 Weatherby is straight out of the box, no bedding and there is a slight pressure point. Can't find a reason to mess with it.
