Strut10 Posted February 16, 2012 Report Share Posted February 16, 2012 Sounds like you need to get that new Roy aired out on some 600 yard steel in short order. Can I play with it too ???????? :clap: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted February 16, 2012 Report Share Posted February 16, 2012 Thread is worthless without pics Gregg. lol. Congrats on the new gun. Maybe we will get to see some pics from the spring fling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snapper Posted February 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2012 Sorry William...didn't take any...plus I haven't tried posting pics from the mobile version. nothing fancy...just plain old vanguard. Gray stock with black rubber inlays on the forearm and grip. Flat black barrel and scope. Still need rings and bases though. Yes Don...you can play...lol. Got it basically for a bear gun. Got it all free with my bass pro rewards card...lol...best kind! Other guns needing shot are a Marlin .243...Browning .308...and Bushmaster AR.

Shaun_300 Posted February 16, 2012 Report Share Posted February 16, 2012 Sounds like a nice gun Gregg, I'd love to make it down to one of the get togethers, not sure if it'd be worth the pain and aggravation getting my rifles across the border though, it's a PITA!

I don't know how it goes coming this way for a Canuck. I couldn't believe how simple it was for me to take a 12 ga. pump into Canada a couple years back on a wilderness fishing vacation. $25 Canadian, a form filled out in triplicate and not much more.

snapper Posted February 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2012 If I can't the scope mounted up...won't be shooting it. Had an older set of weaver rings/bases for weaterby. Wouldn't work...so I got different bases and rings and still not working. thinking I need the extended back base? The two piece bases only allow me to mount the rings in one place and they are too far apart. I need at least another 1/4" so the bell of the scope isn't hitting the ring. Getting frustrating!!!

snapper Posted February 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2012 Well after comparing to other scopes...found this leupold is shorter????? So I take the bases into work and mill a few new slots. That worked...except now the bell of the scope is hitting the barrel... Looks like I need extra high rings!

Adjam5 Posted February 23, 2012 Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 Congrats on the new rifle. I think the Vanguard takes the same bases as the Remington700. Those are the weaver bases I put on my Vanguard. Weatherby makes a dang good rifle for the price. I see you also got a sub MOA one also. Niiiice! Have fun with it.

Leo Posted February 26, 2012 Report Share Posted February 26, 2012 I like the 300 Weatherby! Talley makes the mounts you need for that rifle. The Talley lightweights are great and easy to install. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snapper Posted February 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2012 Got another set of extra high rings and got the scope mounted up. Now I just need to get it sighted in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
