RAC Report post Posted March 28, 2008 I was looking at getting a 300 weatherby , I wanted to know if any one has the vanguard sub-moa. Is it that much better than the regular vanguard. Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
257wby Report post Posted March 28, 2008 What I was told is that a Submoa is guaranteed to shoot 1/2" @ 100 yds, a regular vangaurd is 3/4" @ 100 yds. Put a swarovski TDS scope on it and it won't make a difference. Mike P.S. I have a 300 Weatherby vangaurd for sale. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Red Rabbit Report post Posted March 28, 2008 The Sub MOA has a better graphite/fiberglass stock that is pillar-bedded. It comes with a sub 1" 3-shot target. The regular Vanguard comes in an injection molded stock and a sub 1.5" 3-shot factory target. http://weatherby.com/products/guns.asp?prd...code=VMM7M8RR4O Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Coues 'n' Sheep Report post Posted March 28, 2008 I'd spend the money on a Mark V if it was me... reguardless, you will love the 300 wby. We all do! Best of luck! CnS Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ruffcountry Report post Posted April 19, 2008 I have a 300 wby , plain ole vanguard , bought it 10 years ago for about $400.00 . And yes , I do love it , but I've kinda been hankerin for a 257 wby to use for cooze deer , 300 's just too much for them little deer . Not that I believe there is any such thing as overkill but I was hoping 257 might be lighter and a little easier to carry on those long treks lookin for my next trophy cooze buck . Well after doing a little research I've discovered that the 257 and 300 vanguards weigh the same . Guess I'll have to think of some other excuse to buy me a new 257 vanguard . I checked the price at wally world today , it was $425.00 for new 257 wby vanguard . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
firstcoueswas80 Report post Posted April 19, 2008 I have been reading EVERYWHERE that the Vangurd action itself is a far superior action to the Mark V, at 1/3 or 1/4 the price! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ruff, Use a solid copper Barnes bullet for coues.... it won't tear up the meat.... and thus making the 300wby a Perfect Coues gun. I, however, am dying to try my Berger VLD's on a Coues.
