I have a Vanguard by Weatherby in mind in .223 for 'yotes and squeaks, any unwelcome little non-game critters on a farm or a ranch. Do these guns shoot worth a hoot? Any person here have a Vanguard in .223? How tight are the groups? I know I could get a lot done with a 22 rimfire but it warms my heart to see a ground squirrel blown to kingdom come with a centerfire cartridge bullet. I sometimes blow up these little "Rockies" when visiting my brother's ranch in NorCal with my Browning BOSS in .25-06 but that is a deer rifle. I'm about 1 for 2 with that gun on squeaks. I want a rifle in a true centerfire varmint chambering. .22-250 can be rather pricey but .223 ammo can had in bulk for a song.
