1500 Howa and Weatherby Vanguard rifles are notoriously accurate, in all chamberings. I’ve owned many and liked them all. My current long range gun is a Vanguard in 300 Win Mag and I love it.
I recommend them often to people looking for something new or are new to quality rifles.
A barreled 1500 action will shoot, not doubt about it.

I have two. I have a 6.5 creedmoor and it shoots .5” MOA with PH 143 ELD X. I also have a 7mm-08. I bought it because I liked the 6.5 so much. Shot it today for the first time. The ELD-X grouped 1.5” and the Hornady American Whitetail grouped 1”. I am going to play with it to see what it likes. Maybe the 6.5 creedmoor is inherently more accurate and precise.
Nevertheless, I love the guns. They are very nice.

Originally posted by Pope View PostLike I mentioned in the earlier post, I just purchased the 1500 with a 22” #2 barrel in 7mm-08. Does anyone have this gun and if so, which cartridge does it like? I was surprised that American Whitetail in 139g outshot the 150g ELD X. Still, I only have 20 shots through the barrel so far.
