One thing to look at is the availability of the rifle. You can buy a vanguard S2 sub moa for $500 or 600 for a stainless and man do they shoot especially if you reload.

In fact, I had this dilemma Saturday. The .260 in the Savage 11 combo with Nikon Scope and Accutrigger: $479. Ammo about $32.

Weatherby Vanguard s2 in .257 Wby = $479... Ammo $74.

Going back for the Savage in .260

I just bought a Vanguard Lazermark in 257 Weatherby Mag. looking forward to shooting it too. I don't care if the barrel is toast after 1200 rounds. The barrel has threads on it, it can be replaced in 10 years or so.

There is some 257 wby ammo available for under $40 100 gr soft points but its a way to get brass

I was going to get a 25-06 in a Weatherby Vanguard, but BUD'S run a sale and the 257 was the same price, so I wound up with the 257. I can't find anything wrong with 257 Roy, 25-06, or 260!
