The Weatherby Vanguard barreled action is made by HOWA... I have a Savage 110 in 25-06 and it will print sub MOA at 100 with the accutrigger and federal premium sierra gamekings... I don't have a Weatherby or a HOWA, but other than the accuracy, I'm not a big fan of my Savage... Don't care for the safety on the savage and the blueing is mediocore at best... I realize you're looking at stainless...
