I have owned and shot both. Just recently as a matter of fact I was struggling to decide which one to keep and which to sell. I don't like to sell guns once I have them, but this was unavoidable. The Vangaurd was a .308 and the Remington was a 7mm-08. The Vangaurd came with a factory shot target with a 3 shot group only showing 2 holes, so I was excited about the "out of box" accuracy. Long story short...I could never duplicate the factory target with many different loads....I still own the Remington. It shoots very consistant groups. Actually it is the most accurate deer rifle I own.
