probably hard to go wrong at that price...I'd personally prefer a little less shoulder thump than the 300 Wby though, opting instead for a .270 Win. for whitetails/mulies, or even elk, although admittedly, the .300 Wby would be superior for a primary elk rifle.

The Vanguards I've seen have been quite attractive, and the reviews on them are quite good, especially so at sub-$500!
