1998 Vanguard VS Model
« on: March 10, 2025, 07:46:52 PM »
I recently got a 300 WBY MAG Vanguard with the serial number starting with VS.Weatherby said it’s a1998.  It fits tight in the stock and isn’t free floated.  There is also a contact point towards the end of the barrel.  I am new to owning a WBY.  Is this normal?

I am also trying to find an owners manual for it.

Thanks,
SS

I would only be concerned if you have accuracy problems. Welcome to the nation!

Yes, the contact point is standard on all Weatherby's from the factory. Usually it is fine but once in a while you need to adjust it. Shoot it for a while and see how it does before adjusting the pressure point.
