The best value with guaranteed SUB-MOA accuracy on the market today. Weatherby's Vanguard Series 2 rifles are guaranteed to shoot a 3-shot group of .99" or less at 100 yards (SUB-MOA) when used with specified Weatherby factory or premium ammunition. The Vanguard S2 TRR Range Certified includes a match quality, two-stage trigger (adjustable down to 2.5 lbs.), lightweight, hand-laminated Monte Carlo composite stock (a combination of aramid, unidirectional fibers and fiberglass) with aluminum bedding plate, beavertail forearm and Pachmayr Decelerator recoil pad, a matte bead blasted blued finish and 3-position safety. The Vanguard S2 TRR RC rifles come with a factory-shot target using the Oehler Research 83 Ballistic Imaging System, personally signed and certified by Ed Weatherby. This system provides cartridge information, atmospheric conditions, average velocity, bullet path, wind drift, downrange energy and power factor are just some of the ballistic data that will accompany your RC rifle.

The information below comes from our Gun Caliber Dictionary and is for general reference only. It does not describe the specifications of this particular item.

The 257 Weatherby Magnum was designed by Roy Weatherby in 1944, so is one of the original Weathery Magnum cartridges. It is based on the belted 300 H&H case shortened, blown out, and necked down. It is by some margin the fastest commercial 25-caliber cartridge, and Roy Weatherby often commented that it was his personal favorite. With an 87-grain bullet at 3825 feet per second, a 100-grain bullet at 3602, and a 120-grain bullet at 3305 it is one of the flattest-shooting of all commercial cartridges. With heavier bullets of tough construction it can be effectively used on elk-sized game, and it is an excellent choice for longer shots on deer, antelope, and mountain game. Despite its attributes it has never become extremely popular, with Weatherby remaining the primary source for both rifles and ammunition. Federal has also offered a 257 Weatherby Magnum load, and a few other rifles have been chambered to it. — Craig Boddington
