[QUOTE="Top Cat, post: 528021, member: 4532"] Quality and design are top notch, and some of the action features are very desirable. Barrels are average as far as factory barrels go, but depending on caliber, some of the twist rates they offer are too slow for shooting the ideal long range bullets. The Weatherby Vanguard is the same basic rifle as packaged by Weatherby. The stocks on both are throw away items, as are most entry level factory stocks, and just about every factory rifle will need to be bedded into a good quality stock for dependable results. I'd take a look at the new Winchester Extreme Weather or Coyote for an out of the box shooter. Any of the other manufacturers mentioned will end up at the same price point once the stock is replaced. Another consideration is that the action uses metric barrel threads, and if the rifle will end up with a custom barrel, there are more smiths who will work on the others. TC [/QUOTE]
