Anyone here have one, I'm looking and considering a .300wsm. Weatherby guarantees .99 of an inch or less 3 shot groups.
This seems like a cheap alternative to an Accumark. Any personal experience from you would be appreciated. I have a Mark V Deluxe .270wthby mag that shoots 1/2 groups all day but a hunting buddy fell in love with it when he saw it and offered me a price I can't refuse.
Thanks,
Richard

I too have a Vanguard Sporter Delux non MOA. Mine is 7mag. It shoots 1/2" groups if I do my part.

The new Vanguards have a guarantee of 1 1/2" or better guarantee. I think they made the change so that they could get a little more money for the more accurate rifles, hence the Sub-MOA. I have a couple of the regular Vanguards in a 257 Wby mag, and 270. Both shoot better than 1/2" groups, after the triggers were adjusted.
I also have a Sub-MOA in a 22-250. It's a tack driver!!! But admittedly, I believe I could have saved the extra $200. by sticking with the regular Vanguard and still have just as good results. I think the key is to get the trigger pull let off before you even go to the range.
I love em. Never had any problems with them.
