If I remember correctly the Vanguard is not a true Weatherby. It' s actually a Howa rifle with Weatherby markings. Howa makes a good reliable rifle for the money. So you' re paying a extra $100 over the Howa just for the Weatherby stamp. If I' m wrong I' m sure someone will correct me

I would stick with the Browning. It may cost a little more but it' s a nicer rifle.
