New Rifle Decision
Posted on 9/9/13 at 5:19 pm
Posted on 9/9/13 at 5:19 pm
I have made up my mind that I want a new .300 Win Mag rifle. Im gonna be using it for some hunting but mainly long range target shooting. I have been looking at the Weatherby Vanguard series and was wondering what the ODB's thoughts were or if y'all could recomend any others I should look into. Thanks in abvance.

Try one of these. Good enough for Army sniping, good enough for deer hunting, I say.
M-24 in .300 WinMag
It's basically a Remington 700.

Dollar limit?

These costs a lot less than a Weatherby.

An M24?
I thought they were around $4k
Rem 700 sendero would be my pick for a long range play gun.

I've never had the Vanguard but know a few guys that do, really nice guns and shoot a tight group. I used to have a .300 WM Browning A Bolt.
Vanguard in walnut stock is a sweet looking firearm.

Excellent rifle for the price. Would probably be my pick.

I don't believe an M-24 is for sale to civilians. It's a tweaked Rem 700.
Rem 700s aren't expensive.

We're not still boycotting Remington?
I love my TC Encore, I can buy a new barrel for 200$ and change to any caliber I want rifle or pistol.
and the trigger is very easy and cheap($3 spring and polish the contact areas) to make sweeeeeet!

What are you going to be hunting and how far are your shots?

Do you know what a weatherby Vanguard cost?
To the OP the Vanguard is a great rifle for the money. I have one in .257 wby mag. It's a tack driver.

You could also check out a Winchester Model 70. My dad's model 70 in 300 mag has been a great elk gun and is very accurate.

Kimber model 8400 magnum
Winchester model 70 super grade
And if money is no object
Go with the Cooper model 56

My price range is <1000$. Im mainly going to be hunting deer and hogs(I know a .300 win mag is a little over kill for these) but im also thinking about doing some hunts for larger game like Elk in the future. I already have 30-06 and was just wanting something a little more powerful so a .300 win mag just seemed like a logical step up from there.

Do you reload? Look up the twist rate of your current gun. Search for montanamarine on snipershide. They took the 30-06 and got huge performance out of it quite a few years ago. With heavy bullets the 300 Win Mag just barely outshined it.
For a 300 Win Mag, Id look at the 700 Sendero and 5R, both ar emade in 300 Win Mag. Both are around $1200 though. Those would be my 2 choices.
