[QUOTE="steelshooter, post: 562998, member: 34212"] Personally, I'd go with the Tikka. I owned a Vanguard and it was not a bad gun, but it had a horrible trigger and accuracy was ok at about 1.25 inches. I have since bought two Tikkas, one in 708 and the other in 300WSM. They have an excellent trigger and a silky smooth action, the 300WSM gives .75 inch groups (5 shots) and the 708 gives .4 inch groups with basic reloading efforts. Yes, they are abit "plasticy", but those parts can be replaced. They are also available in a laminated stock. If you are going to "beat the hell out of it" for 20 years, then those replacement parts are justifiable in my opinion. The bolt release isn't actually plastic. I thought that myself untill recently when I had it apart. Looks can be deceiving? [/QUOTE]
