Couldn't resist the Accuguard. Picked one up today.
« on: April 18, 2016, 11:16:54 AM »
I know, I know, it's not a Mark V and I swore I'd upgrade on my next Weatherby.  But I had to.  I was walking through Cabelas on Saturday and looked at the gun rack as usual... I get a good laugh on the used gun rack.. they had an old beat up Vanguard synthetic with a $599 price tag on it!

On the new rack, there happened to be a Accuguard.  They NEVER have more than a few synthetics at my Cabelas... its sad.  But I was surprised... and it was a .240 WBY too...    I nodded and said, that's a pretty good price.  A full 8 hours later, I realized what a dummy I was.  I was saving for a .240 WBY Accumark.  When I thought about the price again, I knew I has to go back and get it.  It was on Cabelas clearance for $680 before coupons and points.  I just got it home and it is pretty sweet!  It has the lightest trigger out of all of my rifles. (don't have a scale, but i may pick one up cuz I'm curious.) 

Cabelas doesn't have them listed on their website anymore so you may want to go check their stock. 

Now to start saving for some optics!

I have one in 257 Weatherby and love it. I too was wandering thru Cabelas and saw a 240, 257, 300 win and a 300 bee on clearance for that price. I really wanted the 240 but figured since I have an ULW on order I should pass. Luckily someone removed the temptation in a few days. Congrats on the new rifle!!!

 Congratulations and good for you Petey. Getting the Accuguard at approx 2/3 of the cost of the Accumark with coupons and points was a real deal. Now you put the Mark V back on the Wish List in whichever caliber you decide on next, and start saving again.  :-[

Congrats Petey, that is one good looking rifle, and a great deal as well!  Keep us posted on how it shoots!

Congrats, I just ordered one too but I paid considerably more!  That caliber sounds fun.
