New too high caliber - Weatherby question

[MR1 Fan]

I just picked up a Weatherby Vanguard for my first actual high caliber rifle for hunting bigger game but I'm also just using it for some fun long range shooting.

I would like to build it up a bit over time but right now its got a decent but cheap scope that will work for a while. My first question is stocks. I find very many stocks for the Remington 700 series but stocks for my 7 mag seem to be hard to find, would a stock labeled for a Remington 700 work on my Vanguard 7mm?

Thanks!

No.

Try Bell and Carlson stocks, they are a good value. McMillan makes some too, just depends what your budget is.

The Weatherby is closer to a Winchester action than a Remington, bit not the same as either. A good smith can inlet a aftermarket stock for the Weatherby action.

Excellent, thank you that was a very quick response, was looking at bell and carlson not finding much, till I read this and find one some immediately.... Next question, how many rounds typically is the break in period of these rifles? After about 30 rounds seemed to be jumping around a bit but I did not really take the time to sight it in good.

If you have a vanguard also look at the long action Howa 1500 stocks. THey are the same gun.
