I have a Vanguard, in a McMillan Edge stock, recently rebarreled by Weatherby with a new 24" stainless barrel, in .270 WSM. With Talley LW mounts, Leupold VX3 2.5-8 scope, original Sub-MOA floorplate and Timney trigger, it goes 7lb. 14 oz., nicely balanced. The stock has been glass bedded and is free floated.
After barrel break-in, it shoots 130 gr. Nosler E-Tips very well.
Shot this group, made a couple of clicks adjustment, flipped over the target, and shot the single, 2.7" high hole, which puts this bullet dead on at 300. It's basically a Howa action, with the Weatherby Vanguard nameplate. Time to slay a deer!
