I might be able to swing the price for a new rifle - but I'd have to see your daughter first.!! Just kidding of course. I have no exprience with the Vanguard, but I did buy my grandson a Savage 11FYCAK. It is a youth model with muzzle brake and detachable magazine. I got it in 7-08 because I also have a 7-08 and reload. Man it that rifle accurate. I mounted a Burris Fullfield II 3-9x on it and have it shooting well under 1 MOA. My best 5 shot group is .23" with several under 1/2". And the recoil with the mbrake is minimal. I'm now deciding on if I should really give it to him when he gets old enough...
