Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Long Range Hunting Vanguard Accuguard in 6.5-300 Wby vs. Browning X-Bolt Western Hunter in 26 Nosler

I almost bought this "Ibex" version with a 28" bbl. Would put out a little more velocity, and it's more optically pleasing. But I wanted to get the #3 contour bbl, just because, anecdotally, the Wbys I've shot with the heavier barrels seem to shoot better with a wider variety of ammo. I couldn't find anything on the Weatherby website about the model. But it's on GB for $799.
