[QUOTE="theflyonthewall, post: 582245, member: 35305"] I have the Vanguard....original, not S2. One thing that I would strongly consider if I were you, is whether you ever plan to customize your rig or not. I bought my Vanguard used when I really needed a deer rifle. So I was more concerned with getting a usable rifle for now, than in thinking to the future. You can get almost any aftermarket accessories for a Vanguard that you can get for the Savage. The difference is in the number of choices that you have. Stocks, for instance.....there are plenty of stock choices for the Vanguard/Howa rifles----they're fully interchangeable since the Vanguard and Howa actions are the exact same action. But everybody and their brother makes stocks for Savage rifles. The same thing applies for barrels. Any one of the barrel manufacturers can make you a replacement barrel for the Vanguard. But the beauty of the Savage system is that you can buy a few tools and replace the Savage barrel yourself. With the Vanguard, your going to have to have a gunsmith thread that new barrel to the action and headspace it for you. In the end, it really only matters if you plan to customize your new rifle after you get it. And as far as that goes.......either one is still a good choice. Just depends on how many choices you'd like to have. Do some homework before you buy either one----look at the options that you have in stocks and triggers. Those are the most often changed accessories. Hopefully that will lead you in the direction that you would like to go. Remember.......buy what YOU want. Not what a bunch of people say that THEY would want. Your the one paying the money. [/QUOTE]
