asking for opinions on these two riffles

[quarterman]

The mossberg is junk, buy the weatherby vangaurd

 

[Cleftwynd]

Lol @ the responses, and very true, I have never seen gunnutz so United.

It's like asking should I go with a Schmidt and Bender or a Barska on my competition 338 Lapua. Except with regards to the rifles there isn't that big of a price gap lol.


Even though I am not a huge fan of the vanguards, I CAN NOT vote for the mossberg!!

 

[Yycjm]

Wow. I guess that was a pretty dumb question lol. Thank you all for the input! !! Any other recommendations for optics?

 

[two-dogs]

the wby for sure, and go purdy, go Leupold, it's No.1 in my book

 

[nomad 68]

Hmm, now that vanguard weather guard has been called to my attention, I reall think I want one lol.

Yah, I'm thinking this thread is going to be personally expensive. Been trying to figure out what I want to do for .223 and .308 bolt action rifles to compliment my existing semis... The Weatherby's are solid rifles and not bad price... Until you buy multiples of them and start scoping them etc.

When I am buying another rifle I always add $1,500 for optics, rings, sling, case, dies if needed etc... Give or take of course.

Wby x1000

weatherby, avoid msbg at all cost

 

[Superbrad]

The only problem with Riffles is "if I give one to you I have to give one to everybody"

 

[the_cacciatore_kid]

Mossberg.

 

[the_cacciatore_kid]

Just kidding.

 

[The Kurgan]

If the OP had suggested a comparably priced Remington or Mossberg, what would you choose?

 

[Cleftwynd]

just because a rifle may cost 3-400 doesn't mean you should put Barska optics on it. If it's accurate, give it good glass and give it a chance!! A sling is a sling, a case is a case, dies are dies, etc...

However I don't care if it cost $50,000, if it can't shoot, put the good glass on something that does.

Since the only comparable Remington Would be the 783, I Would tell him to get a nice used "riffle" or save up a bit more coin for something better.......

Yep.... And even at that, there at decnt low budget options.... Red field revolution for example......

You are correct, a scope, sling, case etc can always be used on another rifle if it do not shoot.

Thanks for all the replies! ! I'm thinking of getting the nikon prostaff 2.5-10x40mm. The best price in calgary I can find is $380. Any thoughts? For the weatherby vanguard s2 of course

Sounds like a reasonable price for the scope and the S2 is the right choice.
