Upgrading a Weatherby Vanguard with an MDT field stock
We are upgrading the Weatherby Vanguard .300 Win Mag with a new MDT field stock to improve stability and ergonomics. The rifle started with a standard synthetic stock, which we replaced with the MDT modular technologies field stock.
What the MDT field stock offers
- Aluminum bedding block: a full aluminum bedding block gives the action a rigid, consistent foundation.
- Polymer exterior: the polymer outer keeps the rifle lighter and easier to carry than a full chassis.
- Better ergonomics: a stock that fits you well makes the rifle steadier and easier to shoot accurately.
In the video, we take the rifle to the range to see how the new configuration affects handling and overall accuracy on the target.
Before you upgrade
Check that the stock is made for your exact action and barrel contour, and plan to re-check your zero after the swap. Pair the rifle with a quality scope from OpticsPlanet, feed it ammo from Natchez, and find tools and cleaning supplies at Brownells.
