I'm set on getting a Weatherby Vanguard series 2 for my next hunting/target rifle. I also want to get into long(er) range shooting (200+ yards). I for sure want one with a synthetic stock and a full length 24 inch barrel. This leaves a couple options that I would like some help with:
1. Am I right to assume that stainless is going to be as accurate as a blued barrel, plus be less prone to corrosion on the outside, and be easier to clean on the inside? If that is the case, I think the hundred odd extra would be worth it.
2. I already load 30-06. Is there any reason that I shouldn't get the gun in that caliber?
3. Weatherby also offers their X-Series rifles. Is there any particular difference between those and the standard blued model (besides price)?
Thanks in advance for the help.
P.S. I'm not interested in a Remington 700, Savage 110, Ruger American, etc. so don't even try.
