Power On A Budget
Weatherby Ammo Now Offers A Value line
 
             
   
  The Weatherby Vanguard standard model with synthetic stock is an exceptional value. It’s also offered as a package with scope, bases and rings, sling and hard case. Whether single-loaded or by running cartridges through the magazine the Vanguard functioned smoothly and reliably. Quality of materials and workmanship of the Vanguards is excellent indeed, and has been for some 40 years.  
                     
 

Back in the early 1960s I read a book from the library of the little village school I attended called Between the Elephant’s Eyes by Robert Scott, a renowned fighter pilot. It was about an African safari using mainly Weatherby rifles. The glowing terms in which he described the awesome power of the .300 Weatherby might have embarrassed even Roy Weatherby.

Glamorous ads in Outdoor Life showed the wonderful glittering Weatherby rifles. The price was $289 and from my perspective it might as well have been $289,000,000.

The current standard Weatherby Vanguard rifles are, I believe, the best buy in a hunting rifle today and one of the best buys ever. Several years ago, Weatherby began offering the Vanguards for two popular Weatherby cartridges, the .257 and .300.
