The Weatherby Vanguard Sub-MOA is nothing more than a standard Weatherby
Vanguard rifle with some extra bells and whistles. Everything about the
action is identical to the Vanguard Carbine, from the “meh” trigger to the
look and feel of the bolt and safety. So if you were buying one of these
with the hopes of a better trigger than the “cheap” version you’re out of
luck. The only difference between the standard Vanguard series and this one
is the stock and the barrel.
Instead of a thin and weight saving barrel the Sub-MOA uses a full thickness
24 inch target profile barrel that barely tapers from the chamber to the
muzzle, ending in a precision machined target crown. Heavier barrels means
less movement between shots and increased accuracy — in theory, at least.
The other nice thing about the Sub-MOA line is that the stocks allow the
barrel to freely float, much unlike the standard Vanguard stock (which is
terrible, by the way). This particular rifle is the “TRR” or “Threat
Response Rifle” from Weatherby and sports a sleek black fiberglass
composite stock which is much more comfortable than the standard plastic
stock. It’s still not perfect — the cheek weld still puts your eye just at
the top of the barrel — but it’s better than the cheaper rifles.
Pretty features are nice to have, but the real test of this rifle is whether
it lives up to its Sub-MOA designation. Weatherby claims the rifle will
maintain a sub-MOA 3-round group at 100 yards using factory match ammunition
from a cold barrel, so we went out to the Clark Brothers range in Warrenton
, VA this past weekend with some Hornaday 165gr SPBT Match ammunition to put
the rifle through its paces.
The following target was perforated by loading each round individually,
taking careful aim, firing, and then repeating the process immediately. Only
enough time to reload and re-sight the rifle was permitted between shots so
the rifle was not given the opportunity to fully cool off.
So what’s the verdict? The rifle definitely lives up to its Sub-MOA moniker
, but I don’t know if it’s worth it. The heavier barrel does allow you to
fire faster while still maintaining accuracy, but it comes at the cost of
added weight and almost double the price of the standard Weatherby Vanguard.
Weatherby is coming out with a new line of Vanguard rifles in 2012 that fix
all of the issues I have with these guns and guarantee sub-MOA accuracy from
every rifle in the line, thus removing the line between their “cheap”
Vanguard series and the sub-MOA series. The rifles will be more expensive ($
600ish), but that’s a price point that seems more in line with what the
rifles are worth. In short, if you’re thinking of buying one of these brand
new from the factory I’d say wait on it until the new line becomes
available. But if you’re getting a rocking deal on a used one jump all over
that puppy. | t*********r
