Weatherby Vanguard Sporter Rifle 300 Weatherby Mag 26" Barrel Monte Carlo “a” Grade Turkish Walnut Stock With Rosewood Forend Cap Sub-moa Accuracy Guarantee
Product Details
In a way I’m a Turkey gun. No, not because I was built to hunt gobblers – but because my beautiful Monte Carlo stock is crafted from fine A-grade Turkish walnut. It has an ergonomic geometry that becomes an extension of yourself with a solid cheek weld. I have a palm swell grip to keep your trigger hand in a comfortable, neutral position when squeezing my two-stage match trigger. As for turkeys, some states allow centerfire rifles on gobblers. If you use me for that, my 24” #2 contour barrel will put dinner on your table.

Caliber Dictionary
The Below Information Has Been Provided From Our Gun Caliber Dictionary And Is Meant For Informational Purposes Only. It Is Not Intended to Describe The Unique Specifications For This Ammunition.
The 300 Weatherby Magnum was wildcatted by Roy Weatherby in 1944 and was among his initial cartridges when he went into production in 1945. The 300 Weatherby Magnum remains the flagship of the Weatherby line, the most popular of the Weatherby Magnums. It is based on the 300 H&H case blown out, retaining the full (2.85-inch) case length and adding Weatherby's distinctive "double Venturi" shoulder. It is thus just one of numerous "improved" versions of the 300 H&H, but easily the most popular and the only one readily available in factory form. The 300 Weatherby Magnum is fast, flat-shooting, and powerful, and has been the choice of many serious globe-trotting hunters since its inception. Factory loads are available from Federal, Hornady, and Remington as well as Weatherby. Weatherby factory loads include: 150-grain bullet at 3540 feet per second; 165-grain bullet at 3390; and 180-grain bullet at 3240. — Craig Boddington
