I've got a vanguard in 257 weatherby and I love it. It's accurate and tough as I've taken it all over. I guess what I like about it most is its simple and dependable. I also like the 3 position safety for several reason like I don't have to worry about the bolt being pulled open by the brush. I nevered worried about that before until I had my bolt pulled open by the brush when hunting with my model 700. Good luck on your choice
