Get the Vanguard. You'll love it. Wal Mart has 'em for $388. I recently bought a used one in 300 WBY. I mounted a cheap scope on it (I had to use what I already had) and headed to the range with a box of Federal Premium with 180 grain Nosler Solid Base bullets. I did a poor man's bore sight and started shooting. 10 rounds later I had a tiny little 3 shot group perfectly centered and 1.5" high. It measured less than 1 inch! This is the most accurate gun I have ever owned. It is also the first one wearing a synthetic stock that I have ever enjoyed holding. Most synthetic stocks (to me) feel, well, fake. They just don't feel good. This one is a whole different animal though. IMO they are one of the best values on the market. They feel more solid than a Remington. They look better than Savage. They are more readily available than CZ. And best of all, if buying new, they are less expensive than all of them. Only drawback is, if you shoot the Weatherby Mags ammo is EXPENSIVE. $45-$50/box. If you reload like I do it's not that big of a deal but something to consider if you shoot factory ammo regularly.
