I'm looking for a 300 mag and am down to choosing between the Winchester Model 70 Extreme Weather vs. the Weatherby Vanguard Series II Stainless. According to the mfg. website the two guns have very similar specs, even "guaranteeing" sub MOA shooting, whatever that matters. the only difference is that the Win has 26" barrel and Weatherby 24". I would prefer 26" for the 300 mag but would go with the 24" for the right price.
What I cannot figure out is what is driving the large price differential in suggested retail price. The sugg. retail of the Winchester is almost $500 more than the Weatherby. I realize all the gun mfg. now adays have various degrees of quality and respective price points. But for two guns that are comparable in specs, I would assume the Weatherby would cost more.
Anybody have the Weatherby? How does it shoot and are you satisfied? I've shot the Winchester and know how it performs.
