[QUOTE="BIG MO, post: 565122, member: 18994"] I have four Vangards 300WSM, 7RM, 270WSM, and 6.5 Lapua. It is a cock strong beefy action with integral recoil lug, forged one piece bolt, with a great extractor. They all shoot sub MOA at 1000yds. I can load the big bergers into the lands and still fit the mag in all four rifles. They are guaranteed to shoot sub moa and all mine will shoot 1/2 moa or better with tuned handloads. The new trigger, stock and matte finish on the S2 is money well spent. I reload for a couple buddies Tikkas and have shot them during load development. They are just as accurate as the Vangards. The Tikka also has a great trigger for an off the shelf production rifle. They flat out shoot well. For me, the Tikka feels a little light and wispy, especially shooting a long action magnum elk load. I prefer a little more beef in the action and stock. I feel the Vangard has a better recoil pad also. I use the 300WSM as my go to Elk rifle. Its pushing a 190 Berger at 3100fps. Its got all the horsepower you need and it shoots dandy without a break. It also loves the 210 Berger if you want to throw bigger pills. My recommendation- Weatherby Vangard in 300WSM Skip the break and buy 300WSM dies and brass Talley light weight rings Scope of choice [/QUOTE]
