I have a rifle rest, just in case I want to see how accurate a rifle is

I just saw one of those in a Browning BAR in Cabelas day before yesterday. I bet that would be a fun gun to shoot.

Mine is a Weatherby Vanguard chambered in .300 Weatherby Magnum. I ordered it directly from the Weatherby Custom Shop several years ago before the MOA rifles came out. It has a bead-blasted stainless action with a 24" fluted #2 barrel with a 11-degree parabolic "target" crown cut into the muzzle. The stock is their "Accumark" version, which is made by Bell & Carlson as their Medalist. It is made from hand-laid fiberglass, aramid fibers and graphite and covered with an epoxy gel coat. It also has a CNC machined aluminum bedding plate that runs nearly the entire length of the stock. I ditched the factory trigger and replaced it with a Timney, adjusted to 2 1/4 pounds. The scope is a 4.5-14x50mm Leupold VX-3 Long Range with the Boone & Crockett reticle and is held in place with Leupold steel rings and bases.

It'll pitch five 180-grain Hornady InterBonds from my hand-loads at nearly 3300 fps (4300 ft-lbs at the muzzle) into an inch or less at 100 yards if i do my part. 3 shots will regularly go under 3/4".

That STW is a very good round. A friend of mine had one in a sendero. They really need a muzzle break though.

Where to begin!
Lets see I have a Browning A-Bolt in 270WSM, A Pre 64 Winchester Model 70 in 338 Win, Remington 700 BDL in 300 Win, 1903 Springfield in 30-06, And two savages one in 7mm and ones a 270. I thinks thats all of them other than a 243 and a few 223's
