i agree. i have a cousin who swears by remingtons... and he's never owned anything but remington 700's.
i've owned weatherby VG, remington 710, and winchester model 70's. alomost completely needless to say that winchester has been far and away the best of those. the vanguard is a pretty decent gun though. i spent $268.99 on it in 30-06 after my employee discount at the time. still one of the best purchases ever. i would like to say, that maybe it's not the gun, but the quality of the optics some of these base models come with. bushnell...? really? not that bushy's can't kill some deer, but they sure aren't nikon or leupold or swaravski.
