In other words it is the OEM stock Weatherby offers on their entire Mark V and Vanguard line-up.

This Vanguard made me wish I was right handed because besides being beautiful and extraordinarily accurate, it would be the only rifle I own. Anyway, the $264.00 price tag was an error on the dealer’s part and an incentive to make some money, which I did a few years later. My rifles have all been custom stocked for that reason. I was really surprised by the pleasant recoil because I am 6′-8″ tall and a standard length of pull is almost always uncomfortable to shoot. I fired two 5-shot strings and each group could be covered with a nickel.
What a pleasant I received when the recoil was no more than that from my Rem. that kicks like a mule, so I wore plenty of padding when I took the Vanguard to the range. I did not need this rifle mainly because I am left handed but I bought it anyway, along with 3 boxes of Winchester 180 gr. I say trepidation because the price tag on the rifle was $264.00. and fitted with a 6x Leupold scope and mounts. I came across a brand new Vanguard years ago and bought it with trepidation. Dont even think about the 25-06, just that extra 150-200 fps makes all the difference, and if you reload you can make cases out of 7mm mag with one time thru the sizing die and reloading cost is not much more. Now, I became a 30-06 fan in about 1976 and killed close to a 100 big animals with that round, but it never comes out of the safe since the 257 showed up. The 257 is the absolute best round for anything from big muleys, whitetail, antelope, on down to long range coyotes….you can’t find a better wind bucking round for coyotes. I also have a Mark V Deluxe in 300 Wby, which does have recoil and only gets out for elk season. The 257 has a recoil about the same as a 30-06 which to me is about recoil nuetral so no big deal at all. Shot the gun this week in prep for deer gun in Oklahoma and holy toledo, with the promotional Weatherby ammo and my own reloads the biggest group I shot was a 3/4 inch group. Third deer was a basket 8 whitetail at about 150 yards. Second deer was a bigger 5 x 4 muley at 206 yards. First shot at a deer harvested a 5 x5 muley at 403 yards, with about a 20 mph wind. I purchased a Vanguard in 257 with plastic stock, just to play with the caliber.
I retired in 2010 and recieved a Bass Pro gift card from co-workers. Barrel length is 26” for magnum chamberings & 24” for non-magnum and 240 Wby Mag.
