5 shots – 0.653
inch<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

In a couple weeks I will be taking the Precision Hunter Course from Magpul
\nDynamics<\/a>. The class is taught by one of the best rifle
\nshooting instructors I know, Caylen Wojcik<\/a>. During this class I
\nwill be shooting a Weatherby Vanguard Range Certified
\nrifl<\/a>e. In case you are unfamiliar with this “Range
\nCertified” version of a Weatherby, it means the rifle is guaranteed
\nto shoot sub-MOA groups with good ammo. That’s a bold claim!
\nKnowing I would need good ammo for the class, I ordered 200 rounds
\nof Federal Premium .270 Winchester<\/a> loads
\nwhich are topped off with a 130 grain Nosler Ballistic Tip<\/a>. The other day
\nthe rifle arrived and a I mounted Nightforce’s newest Compact
\nriflescope and boresighted the rifle. My first five shot group was
\noutstanding! So, I’m wondering…Should I buy this rifle? To reed a
\nfull report on the Precision Hunter Course and how the rifle and I
\nperformed, check upcoming issues of NRA’s
\nAmerican Rifleman<\/a>. Also, a full review of Nighforce’s<\/a> newest – soon to be
\nreleased – Compact riflescope will be published in NRA’s
\nShooting Illustrated<\/a> magazine.<\/p>\n
