[QUOTE="Long Time Long Ranger, post: 581773, member: 505"] I have both the vanguard and mk 5 in 257 wby. The vanguard is about 80 fps slower with the 24" barrel. Both are extremely accurate. The 26" mk 5 shoots the barnes ttsx at around 3800 fps with incredible accuracy. It will average around 1"-1 1/4" groups at 400 yards. My son shot a 2 1/2" three shot group at 620 yards. I got the mk 5 used at cabelas for $500 with brake and monarch scope. I got the vanguard moa for $300 used at cabelas. Both make 600 yard shots on deer and antelope trivial with their accuracy and flat shooting. Both are hunting rifles so barrel wear is not worth mentioning. They will both outlast the hunter.
