If you have a budget and want to stick to it, and your budget is a vanguard then there you have it. I had a blued/synthetic in 30-06. It shot under 1 1/2 MOA out of the box. They are good rifles, just not my cup of tea. A little to heavy, 24in barrel not good for eastern whitetail hunting and I found it a little heavy. But they are a good rifle. And I am a Remington fan.
