Weatherby Vanguard Syntheticor Remington 710?

RE: Less expensive rifles
 

alot of people would argue that the vanguard would be better whic both are good guns. i owna 710 and ive killed two deer with it and it does a wonderful job. 710 is more economical though. usually comes with scope and bore sighted

Vanguard by leaps and bounds.

what about the remington 700 sps?

or one more to add to it the browning a-bolt composite stalker

I'll still take the vanguard.

RE: Less expensive rifles
 

Between the two choices offered, I would go with the Vanguard. IMO the 710 was a mistake by remington, very cheaply made. I do not say that to offend anyone, I just don't feel the 710 has the same level of quality.

I dont think you can touch any new A-bolt in this price range.

I think the Vanguard is pretty niceif it was500-600$ IMO. Boyd Brothers sell a nice laminate stock for it for under 100$. If you go to sell the Vanguard or the 710 itll be a big difference in what youll get out of the them used.

I think the SPS guns have ugly stocks imobut its hard to beat a mod 700 with drop down floor plate for 400$ if thats how much they cost.

that in my mind is like comparing a golf ball to a baseball I would go with the vanguard out of those two choices. that vanguard is a great shooting rifleyou can get it in the 257 Wby which is a awsomecaliber all for $400,but i also like the remington 700 adl, sps for about the same price of the weatherby vanguard. I agree with fat arrow I have nothing good to say about the 710 so im not going to say anything at all that way no ones offended

why not throw SAVAGE into the mix? Usually inexpensive and great shooters.
