Is the Weatherby Vanguard really known as a 12" 200 yard rifle?
Am I going to have to insert it in....err I mean return it to the dealer?
I first bought him a Browning .270 BBR and was going to soft load it for his first rifle, but a) thought a .243 would be better suited for him, and b) liked the Browning for myself....
He liked it, felt comfortable shooting it, and hit the paper 2/3 times @ 100 yards in a 4" group. I think he got a little excited when he saw he could do it and let the 3rd get away. (13 yrs old)
He has shot .22's before, became quite proficient with archery, and has squeezed off a few with the glock. His favorite is his very very own Weatherby.
The coolest part, was watching him slowly and deliberately pull the rifle in to his shoulder, sight in then very slowly reach his finger towards the trigger, and actually listening to my "squeeze, dont yank the trigger speech" and put it to practise.
When we were coming back into the house, he said he loved the rifle, and wanted to carry it in to the house, down to the safe. Said it "made him feel like a man"...
Cool moment, good day.
