[QUOTE="Cloudrnnr, post: 1402971, member: 104699"] Rifleman, I know you've already made your decision, but I wanted to throw this out in case anyone else is searching and runs across the thread. I'm a long time Ruger and Browning bolt guy, with a Tikka or CZ thrown in for good measure from time to time. Last year I started down the Howa/Vanguard path, and I'm up to 3 (2 x 6.5CM and a 7RM) Each is a subMOA shooter. The HACT 2-stage trigger on the current models is not bad, but I've replaced all of mine with Timney's for personal preference. I've also moved all of mine to Bell and Carlson stocks with full bedding blocks--even the Range Certified 7RM. The Range Certified comes in a pillar bedded B&C, I prefer the full bedding blocks. Weight-wise, the Howa's are right with the full weight Winchesters, slightly heavier than CZ550s and Rugers, quite a bit heavier than the Winchester Featherweights and Browning X-bolts. Smooth actions, well made, great shooters. [/QUOTE]
