Weatherby Vanguard accuracy

Wby Fan, yes, 1" at 300 yards is accurate enough; if that's the worst it does with at least 10 shots in it. If it's only what happens some (or only the smallest percentage) of the time and with less than 5 shots, the real accuracy one can count on all the time is larger. How much larger is often hard to find out.

btmj, I agree with your "experience" issues. I'll take good reasoning, skill and knowledge over experience anytime. Some people's experiences have all been pretty bad.

natman, note that Winchester had a barrel band of their Model 52C and earlier rimfire match rifles claimed to improve accuracy. It was not used on their 52D.

For the same reason, Remington took the two bedding screws in their 40X match rifles out as their claim that setting them to some pressure level on the barrel at the fore end tip would make the rifle shoot more accurate. To many good shots tried them finally removing them completely and left the barrel totally free floating.

In a perfect world, of course you are correct... But, I will not remember this post in a year.

The psychological effect is in fact a better teacher. Then again, There are Shop Teachers missing More than one finger. :D

I'm aware of that. (I own a 52C :)). Note that Winchester dropped the barrel band with the introduction of the 52D in 1961, 52 years ago. Hence the statement:

The fact remains nobody has used a barrel band in benchrest for the last half century or so
