Took my daughter to the range tonite with about 15 minutes of useable light left. She shoots a Weatherby Vanguard Compact .308 with a 3-9 Burris on top.

I let her take the first 3 shots at 100 yards and they were a little scattered and some high. I know that her gun has shot 1/2 MOA at 100 yards before with this particular load. So I hurriedly took over and fired 3 more.



Then I moved the scope right a few clicks and down several. I fired another 3-shot string. The small orange bull I was aiming at is off the bottom of the pic. But you get the idea.



Yep. There's 3 shots in that hole. It measures .255" center-to-center. I'd have thought it was a fluke if I hadn't already seen the gun go 1/2" at the same distance. Incredible!!

I made my daughter swear that if she EVER wanted to part with the rifle.......I get first chance.

Looks like a KEEPER!!
What,s your load? My 308 is a Savage "Sierra" with 20" barrel. It loves a healthy load of Varget under a 125gr Nosler Bal Tip.
GOOD LUCK and GOOD SHOOTING!!!

The Vanguard/Howa rifles are exceptional. Built in Japan with great tolerances.
