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 stock and blued barrel. It would put three of the handload I worked up (Ramshot Magnum and 100-grain TSXs into 1-1/2"--at 300 yards.
Doing a search on-line, I can only find synthetic stocked 257 vanguards.
Have you had as good of results with synthetic Vanguards?
My 300 Weatherby’s are 700 classics. They don’t recoil badly. I believe they are probably heavier than Vanguards. I put a BDL stock on the one I use. They other is a safe queen.
