Thoughts on the $399 Weatherby? Update: Bought It!
Hello all,
I haven't kept up with rifles the way I should have and my Dad told me I needed to quit borrowing his for deer season and buy my own. So here I am asking for opinions on the $399 Weatherby. I think I've decided I want one but thought I'd better check with you guys first to make sure I don't do something stupid. So here's what I'm thinking:
$399 Weatherby Vanguard Synthetic Matte Blued
30-06 cal
Nikon Buckmaster 3-9x40mm with BDC (bullet drop compensator)
Undecided on base/rings
I am hoping for this to be my general purpose, long time use game gun. Don't imagine I'll be going after much other than whitetail and occasionally hogs. It won't be a range gun. I am simply looking for a functional tool to put meat on my family's table.
Does the above combo sound like I am in the right frame of mind or am I way off? Opinons please and thanks in advance for your help.
