After hearing such great things about the Vangaurd I bought one in .308. I already had a 7mm08 in a Remington 700 classic that shot real good. I had to sell a rifle off to pay some unexpected medical bills(I knownever sell your guns) and the Vangaurd was the one to go. I wasn't all that impressed with the rifle overall. The thing shot OK, but the trigger was terrible and the stock was cheap. The Remington was more accurate and much better to look at.
