    Seriously you have become my go to for real life practical and everyday knowledge reviews .
    I will be sharing this one this am to my buddy retiring and going to buy his first rifle. He’s only had muzzleloader and shotgun for deer hunting.
    No nonsense , common sense , honest reviews without fourteen corporate sponsors influencing every sentence .
    I appreciate the work you put in making and editing all these videos.
    I do 15 second shorts from the farm and it takes alot of time for that . Long form with editing must take a lot of time from your family. Please thank them from the viewers.

      I also like his videos on skinning, quartering, and especially processing into freezer ready stuff. And his korean recipes, too. And I like that he hunts in a regular SUV with a luggage rack on the hitch receiver.

      And I seriously appreciate you brother and please tell your buddy to break in his 1st rifle to get the most accuracy out of it. I have a simple procedure and he should watch it before shooting a new rifle.

    Put a deposit on one in 308. Its got the 20 inch barell threaded. The model had such a smooth bolt and the trigger was awesome. Paid 950 bucks here in Australia. Was gonna get another ruger in 308 and put into a chassis, but the weatherby has even more options and frankly feels better than a ruger.

    WOW! Now that's an impressive group for Weatherby's entry-level rifle! Doc, I've long been a fan of Weatherby, and I have two, a very old model in .270 (that will only shoot .130 grain bullets because the twist isn't fast enough), but it's still accurate. I dropped two deer in their tracks on a Georgia hunt many years ago. I like to say it was as if they were struck by lighting! You do have to watch bullet placement because it will tear up a lot of meat on a small deer. The other is in .300 and still shoots all bullet weights with great accuracy. I dropped a cow elk in Colorado with a Texas heart shot! But I've never tried these barrel limb stabilizers so that's on my next shooting bucket list! Great video, thanks for sharing!

      Thanks Ron, sounds like you more love for Weatherby than me😁. Try few spots with stabilizer and when you find it just leave there and you'll love it, I had mine on this same spot for past 11 years and every time I shoot it I'm smiling from ear to ear😃. Have a blessed Sunday.

      @@vameathunter2771 Yes, the .270 WM has killed at least two dozen deer although not all by me! My hunting buddy Woody before he died dropped one every year in Vermont! These two I killed in Georgia way back when. Wish I had a Vanguard, they would be great in all kinds of weather. PS I now keep this in my son's safe in Georgia, might use it next FALL.

    Love the Vanguard, I have a Mark V in 300 win mag, but my Vanguard S2 in 3006 will give me 1/2 to 3/4 MOA... just purchased a Vanguard Meateater in 6.5 Creedmoor for my Son, but waiting on optics so no range time with that yet,.. if it shoots like my '06 I'll be happy. You seem to have that 7mag dialed in perfectly!

    VA Meat Hunter, I agree! my brother owns a Vanguard in 6.5 Crdmr...and its really accurate, I also own two Howa's, one in 243 and one in 308, both excellent rifles (they share the same Japanese made action and trigger with the Vanguard)... Howa's also come with a sub MOA guarantee (with premium ammo).. and they have not disappointed

    I regretted it. Bad service from the Weatherby warranty depot here in Canada. Got rid of the rifle. Lots of good features but would not shoot for me. Head space was out and they wouldn’t fix it but that’s because of bad service from the warranty dealer.

    Had a Vanguard in 308 years ago. It was a shooter to be sure. I just prefer a left hand friendly hunting rifle. Really wish Howa of Japan would make a southpaw version. Little better prices then Tikka, while I like my Tikka Hunter a lot. $1000 a pop vs a Vanguard, scope and rings for the same money.
