It's not often you buy a new rifle specifically for use as a 'loaner' or to be dragged through the scrub as a 'bush' gun but I have done just that.

Through a good contact I picked up a new, cheap Weatherby Vanguard PF rifle in blue and wood. I have so far floated the barrel, slipped a few plastic cards under the Nock's Form and left it at that (for now). The trigger is very crisp but quite heavy. Scope is a little used Redfield 3-9x40 in Warne Q/D rings. Base was a Weaver picatinny rail that obstructed the loading port so I cut out the centre bridge for faster reloading.

Factory W-W 150 grain SP ammo was used to break in the barrel. Accuracy could best be described as minute-of-large-game.

I plan to use 160 grain Woodleighs. Does anyone have AR/Hodgdon Extreme powder recommendations ?
