hello everybody im new to this forum i would have used a "search" function on this forum so i wont ask a question that already has an answer to it just did not find it but here we go.. P.S. (haha the search is right there sorry about that nexttime ill look harder)
you can skip to the bottom the main question is there

im looking for a deer rifle i do have an old pump action 270 but it needs alot of work so now im looking for a new rifle this would be my first time shopping for a gun.

i have some in mind the tikka t3 hunter, the wheatherby vanguard, and possibly the m700 or model 70. the last two is not too much of an interest to me even though i know they are great rifles ill just save them for my next gun quest for now.

so i went to the store on Saturday to look at used rifles and i asked the clerk if he had any "as followed " t3, model 70 or model 700 in 308/30-06. and he handed me a new t3 i love this rifle and i believe i may buy it in time. but now ive also found online a vangard ive never heard of this rifle and none of my fiends heard of it dosent surprise me though because they didnt know about the t3 until 6 months ago.

so the advantage of the weatherby is its cheaper and online it looks like an exceptional first hunting rifle but, i dont know anything about this rifle except for the price tag. the t3 on the other hand seems very high end and well balanced for me and the rifle is in my price range of $550-899 and some change.
any advise on these two guns (the t3 and vandguard) would be great and im sorry for this long thread next time ill keep it shorter and cleaner.
also any other rifles within my price range would be great i know there is alot out there

thank you for replying,
Bob
