I like the the spiral fluted barrel but wish they offered it in 257 wby.

Good looking rifle! Some pretty unique features.
-
I'm not a big vanguard fan, but I like that spiral fluted barrel. Now if they offer that spiral barrel option though the custom shop on Mark V's 8) ;D

I'm wondering myself it will be like the First Lite rifle and be a Vanguard and MKV option eventually...
-
Nice looking hunting rifle.
-
Nice rifle. I watch the show, and I don't recall seeing him with one.
-
Looks good to me. Real nice.
:)
-
Looks nice, but I wish it was offered in more calibers.

Thanks, being a good athlete doesn't give you the right to insult my country! I'm done with the NFL.

Yeah, I like the spiral fluting also, but thet're not offered on the Custom Shop Vanguard options either.

Correct me if i'm wrong, meateater is a lefty. Yet i don't see that option?? Strange
-
Steve is a lefty and hunts with a Carolina Custom rifle in most episodes with vortex optics
-

Looks like no bolt at all to me!

If you're talking about the Meat Eater link, when you scroll over the rifle, you can see the bolt. If thats what you're talking about.

The vanguard has never been and doubtfully ever will be offered in a left hand action. ???
-
All i'm saying is if you are making a rifle based on a show and more importantly a person that is left handed, you might want to consider making a left handed option. I would buy in heartbeat if they did.

yeah, I know, but maybe the people over at the custom shop will take the hint, ::) hint, hint

I thought that the spiral fluting might be cost prohibitive compared the the std. fluting, but looking at different mfg's, prices, it doesn't look like it. (unless you want something special) Example:

I think it's a sharp looking rifle and have always considered the Vanguard a good value for the price.
-
Can someone more informed than myself please explain the advantage of a spiraled barrel?

Supposedly it cools faster, more "air" surface. I think it's mostly just looks. :)
-
Makes sense. Thank you! I gather spiraled barrels would appeal to those who can't shoot well requiring multiple shots thus heating up the barrel? ;)

You sight it in with one shot? Impressive!
-
Because it’s cool! And differentiates you in “camp“.... but mainly it’s cool and different! I like it, probably gonna get one!
-
If they done it in .257 I would think about getting one.... Thinking I may get a custom shop Vanguard in .257 anyways.

If you scroll down and look at the photos of the meateater crew shooting the rifles there is at least 1 left handed one made, don't think they would photoshop those two photos of Steve handling the rifle.
-
Very observant of you 8).
-
I think the picture is reversed
-
I got a email today from Weatherby about the Meateater, seems you can get a left handed version in a Mark V. about $900 more then the Vanguard.
-
Dig the spiral fluted barrel,
wish they had a short action in 7mm-08,
also a 7mm RPM with like a 22-23" barrel.
.340wby with a 24" barrel would be awesome.

A guy brought a brand new one to the range today, 300 win mag. Had Barnes 180 and 165’s and breaking in at 200. The 180’s were all over the place and the 165’s put 5 inside an inch and one flyer about 4” off. Said he had a California hunt in 15 days and copper bullets only. Dang nice looking gun. Not sure what was the deal with the 180’s
