In my experience with a couple of 'em, the Vanguard .257 Weatherbys really shoot well. My first .257 Wby. was a Vanguard Sporter, with a walnut barrel.
LOL, I've gone to mahogany barrels, I was getting too much throat erosion with walnut.....
I like the French walnut barrels, makes me bit snobbish on the range.
