[QUOTE="Hired Gun, post: 949380, member: 1290"] I like Vanguards. I really like all the features you get right out of the box. A one piece fluted bolt, an M-16 extractor, integral lug and an enclosed bolt shroud for eye safety. They are one of the most accurate rifles out of the box you can buy. The newer ones are all sub moa. The best thing about a Remington is the aftermarket support. That's good because they need it. Tooling for Vanguards? It's the exact same I use for Remingtons. Action truing is done by single point cutting critical surfaces. Cutters don't care what brand it is and most current lathes cut metric threads at the flip of a switch. I would never cut a receiver face without single pointing the threads in the same setup. How would you ever know if they were on the same plan? Otherwise you stand a great risk of making it worse. Tap or mandrel style cutters will never achieve the results of a single point truing on a lathe. Vanguards are usually really straight to begin with meaning they shouldn't need any truing. Of the Vanguard's I've checked out, I have found they rival the precision of the custom actions. Truing an integral lug? Just what is gained by that? Epoxy bedding will cancel out any irregularities should one exist. Vanguards are a good value and make a great foundation for a custom build. My only complaint is Jewel doesn't make a trigger for them. [/QUOTE]
