Thanks for the suggestions. I have to get off here and go to Guard drill, I won’t be able to respond to posts until next week. Everyone have a great weekend.

If you were in elk country you could probably do some serious swapping with that thing.

I don't think I will ever get the chance to hunt with it.

It certainly is a beautiful rifle, but if you're not going to use it for hunting, is prohibitively expensive for shooting.

I would list it on gunbroker no reserve no minimum.

Keep it. You may be "voting from the rooftops" soon.

Great gun. Keep it in case you need to face down a Sasquatch. :-)

Trade it for a blue-helmet buster maybe?

NOt sure there is such a thing as “too dead”...

But that being said - I know some folks here in Arkansas (I don’t think our Whitetail are any more bullet-resistant than yours) who use similar large-bore calibers for deer hunting.

It’s a neat gun, though the “Vanguard” line is not the real “high-end” of Weatherby rifles. I think it is actually made (at least the action is) by Howa rifles - not a bad name either.

I see two options - one is to keep it (might want to check the cost and availability of ammo for that thing - most of the Weatherby Magnum chamberings are VERY expensive). You can use it for deer hunting, no problem. Just don’t shoot a deer in the shoulder - the front end will be nasty and wasted.

The other option (the one I would probably take) - sell it or trade it for something a bit more practical.

I won this monster over the holidays, Vanguard 300 Weatherby Mag. I live in north MS and the largest thing we have to hunt is white tail deer. This is overkill. I don't know much about it but kinda like it for my small collection. I don't think I will ever get the chance to hunt with it. Would you suggest keep it, trade it or sell it?

Move?

Flip it for something sensible, like a .308 VEPR. :-).

Seriously? Perusing Weatherby's website, it looks like a Vanguard Sporter, which has an MSRP of $895. Scope, unknown. You should be able to sell or trade, and get something interesting. Unfortunately, modern "personal defense rifles" are going for insane prices, these days.
