I guess if your going for a polar bear and have the cash for it.
Not something for me though.
And if you meet a directionally challenged polar bear while hiking in the Coast Range? Priceless...

Plus , is the new cartridge really doing anything that a older well established cartridge isn'?

I'll have to agree with that.If you get it you'll love it and boast about it
It's ok to be efficient or buy a conversation piece but you usually won't get both in one package
See I treat it like 7mm Dakota, 338 LaPua, 375 H&H and 50 BMG. You buy it and then don't shoot it much unless you want to drop your hunt at serious distance. As far as the rifle cost let's be real. Is a LWRC 308 Repr worth $3400, a Molot Vepr worth $1500, or a 357 6 inch Colt Python worth $4000? Not picking on these firearms but if you believe that they are worth that then $2800 for a good bolt action rifle is not a question.
Before buying a Vanguard I'd go straight to the actual manufacturer and buy a Howa 1500.I might consider one if it were to come out in a vanguard but that is an awful big might as I don't shoot what I already have enough.
I like vanguard synthetic 2 I have in 308. Also do you think Weatherby is going to let howa sell their new cartridge?Before buying a Vanguard I'd go straight to the actual manufacturer and buy a Howa 1500.
No. But then, I can buy or load .270 Win rounds that perform about as well, and are available everywhere for a lot less.Speed to me is not a primary reason for liking a cartridge. I take into consideration a lot of

We are talking about the 6.5-300 weatherby. However I would find more use for the 270 winchester.No. But then, I can buy or load .270 Win rounds that perform about as well, and are available everywhere for a lot less.
For me Andy I believe in practical things. And trust me you won't offend me I'm not a snowflake.My Hawken Rife copy is both efficient and a conversation piece , as least to me.
I love and boost about this rifle all the time ...much to probable boredom of many members here.
I do agree with what you are saying ...And I hope every that Rifleman has a rifle they can boost of , for its efficiently and "conversation" status...

I agree and guess what I reload for my 338'06, 38-55 and 93x62. I speak for myself and not for any one else. If it floats your boat go for it. At one time or another a lot of cartridges were new. I do not " personally" see that much advantage to this new cartridge.JRuby; It's Interesting that you included the .25-06 in your list of "Standard" cartridges. Since, not too many years ago it was a Wildcat in every sense of the word.
I'm of the opinion that if someone wants to buy a given firearm and caliber that's up to nobody but them.
