While other rifles may talk the talk, this one would prefer to walk the walk. For example, there are guns that tout being SUB-MOA, but this one will guarantee it from its venerable Vanguard action, hammer forged barrel and match grade trigger. Someone might expect to pay dearly for a guarantee like that, but we're proud to say that this is the best value at Weatherby for that degree of accuracy. When taking the Vanguard synthetic hunting, don't think this one have has to be babied because of the precision. The Vanguard synthetic, with a griptonite stock and all surfaces is designed to repel the harshest conditions.
