New bang stick question

[K. Lane]

I noticed an empty spot in the gun safe the other day and it is begging me to fill it so it can be like the other spots in the safe....... I mean, you understand fellas, I can't neglect the wants and desires if the gun safe. Right .

So I figured the only thing I can do is grant the request.

In the next month or so I will be picking up a new one and what I am asking here is for the brain trusts opinions...... Pros and cons... Good and bad experiences.

I am looking at buying one of these 3

Weatherby Vanguard Sporter( in wood stock) chambered in .257 WBY mag
Winchester model70 featherweight (wood stock) in .264 win mag
Savage 11/111 lightweight hunter in 6.5 creedmore (again, wood stock)

I will reload so cost of ammo is negligible and shouldn't be a deciding factor

What say ye

[Coach W]

Get a bigger safe... then Buy all 3

Fair enough.... I have the Wby Vanguard in 257 Mag. I will always own this rifle as I LOVE it.

The others... I dont have the need or want for... although the 6.5 something in an AR platform has struck my interest a time or two... just never enough to dive off into it.

I believe my brother has a .257, he likes the round alot. Super fast.

I must say there's no bad choices here but.....

I'm not much of a Magnum guy although the 264 loaded down to 3-3100 fps with 140's would be hot.

Savages have a growing reputation of being real shooter.....my mod 10 in 260 sure is.

The save in 6.5 would be my choice.

Got 2 Savage rifles in 6.5 Creedmoor and they are both great shooters!
