Its funny that alot of guys yell BROWNING BROWNING BROWNING and curse the Vanguards like the plague when in actuality BOTH rifles are built by the same people in Japan (Miruko/Howa). Even the actions are very similar. Dont get me wrong, the Brownings are great guns and I have several of them. But the Vanguard is a better value (more for the money) than the beloved Abolt. Its your money, if you just want to have the buckmark on your gun then get the Browning. If you can only have one rifle and arent worried about the "name" then look at the Vanguard.
