I have one in .270 and have killed several deer with it and think it is a great gun for the value. The vanguard, by Weatherby was mentioned in an issue of F&S in an article about accuracy and stacked up well, but i can't remember what caliber they used though.
It was the .300 Mag. I own it. Kicks like a mule and is a very heavy gun but it shoots just as good as any rifle I've ever shot. Takes a little practice to not flinch while sighting i b/c of the huge recoil. I read somewhere that a guy put a muzzle break on it and didn't wear hearing protection and now has hearing loss.
