Weatherby Vanguard Synthetic 7mm-08 Rem Bolt Action Rifle, Gray – VGT7M8RR4O

One of the best rifles I’ve shot at this price point, you can’t really beat a Weatherby. Have mine in the classic .257 Wby Mag and put 5 shot groups inside a dime at 300 yds. Love this Rifle.

Great deer hunting rifle I thought the 308 from Walmart when they were discontinuing and had a great price I have killed too nice dear already very pleased with the Performance

At first, the rifle had a stiff sturdy feel that after about 350 rounds started grouping like it claimed. If you want the MOA it advertised, you have to let the barrel cool between shots. The trigger is a little creepy, but not to bad overall. I would buy it again knowing its performance first hand.

I bought a VANGUARD in 7mm Rem Mag, and have been thoroughly impressed with the quality and durability of this firearm. The rifle was mated with a 50mm Bushnell banner when i purchased it, and i would put this gun up against any of them out there. Well done Weatherby!

I have enjoyed my vanguard in 300 wm a ton. I can shoot reliably out to our range max @ 600 yrds and it does well with even cheap ammo. In 300 wm it was kicking a lot and hard to control, so I got the accubrake installed and except for the weight it’s now the perfect hunting rifle – cheap enough to not feel bad about dragging it through anything, but tough enough to handle it. I easily get 3 shot sub MOA @100yrds with handloads.

bought 2 vanguards a few months back,1 grey synthetic .7mm-08 from a dealer and select model from wally world in .270. I agree with previous post that both guns shoot hornady ammo better, at least my 2 do.the 7mm-08 once sighted put 3 shots in bullseye 100yds with 2 touching and the 270 put 2 out of 3 in bullseye . I am by no means a shooter so I used a lead sled to help sight-in. I’d say that’s pretty good for guns right out of box with factory ammo, hornady American whitetail. good job weatherby.

It just doesn’t miss. Using Federal Blue 180 grain soft points, and it just knocks the deer down. Purchased in 2009, and I could not be more satisfied in it’s performance.During that time four others have used it with the same results. We call it “the grey ghost”. I think I should retire it, and maybe make a wall hanger out of it, but I can’ do it. Lol!

Picked up a .243 for the kids to use deer hunting. They have both now filled tags with it. Both one shot and done. The gun definitely did its part. Worth every penny since it was kinda shooting against my buddies kid using a Savage.243. There was no comparison Now to pick up a 6.5 Creedmoor

I have this gun in a 257 weatherby I’am getting 1/8 in groups at 100yds. with 110 gr ELD-X bullets at 3654 fps. 6th. weatherby gun. Weatherby guns are the best!!! God bless Roy Weatherby!

Purchased in 6.5 creedmoor cut same hole at 100 yard with Winchester Deer season 125 grain ammo. Checked trigger on electronic trigger gauge out of the box 3 times was set at 2.5 pounds. This is an exceptional accurate rifle at a exceptional price straight out of the box. Thanks Weatherby for producing a rifle that doesn’t break the bank.

The Vanguard action is one of the best out there. It is smooth, reliable, strong, and safe. The synthetic model is a great value. The stock is as good as a factory synthetic stock gets. The rifle is accurate as advertised. It’s not a lightweight, so I think it shines best with heavier calibers from 30-06 up. This rifle would be competitive if it was significantly more expensive. As is, it’s the best value in rifles, period. You don’t have to compromise quality to get an affordable rifle.

Great rifle, reasonably priced even in Australia. I have taken down a variety of size of feral pests with my vanguard stainless 257wby. Handles handloads ranging from 100gr to 117gr projectiles. Looking at purchasing another 1 maybe 2

I have one in a 308 and absolutely love it, it’s super accurate. I also own a 300 win mag but I’d like to get the accubrake put on it though but still a great rifle.

Bought a vanguard series 2 in a .223 bull barrel with a 1:8 twist. Shoots awesome. (.75 shot group at 80 meters with cheap ammo. ) Can’t wait to see what it does with good ammo.

Ted sept.30 2019 bought a brand new vanguard synthetic in .240 weatherby a few weeks ago. Had brass from previous. .240 . Made handloads with 80 gr.berger varmint ,56 gr. Rel.22 fed 215 primer seated to 3.200 o.a.l first three shots at 100 yards 3/8 of an inch. One group and done. All of my weatherby have been great shooters but this one is exceptional right out of the box.i am 77 yrs old and still get great satisfaction from an accurate rifle. Live well and keep shooting .

Awesome rifle shot 0.8 in. group at 100 yards with cheap winchester ammo (6.5 creedmoor) love it recommend it.

Bought in 223 rem first time out shot 0.467 four shot group with food no fact ammo didn’t finish my five shot group became my scope is a lot bit weak and could only see where my first round went. Moved to another target thinking maybe I was completely off the paper but after collecting targets was surprised to see my groups. Next time out shot a 0.534 three shot group went to three shot groups resting different ammo absolutely love this rifle

I have the vanguard synthetic in 30-06. I opted for a vortex scope and an adjustable saddle type cheek piece. The gun functions flawlessly and is easy to carry in the deer woods. As for the accuracy, this gun shoots great. I like the detachable mag! With the flexibility/versatility of the 30-06, as well as the availability of ammo. I need no other rifle from varmints to elk. Good job Weatherby!
