Shoulder both and see which on you like.
I shouldered a Tikka and it ust didn't feel right.
I shouldered a Vanguard and it it felt great. I got the vanguard and shot a .577 with it two weeks ago during load test. Even the regular Vanguards will usually shoot MOA easily after you find the ammo it likes. They are well built guns I would buy another in a heart beat.

I'd go with a vanguard. I've had two tikka's and they both shot very well. Just didn't care for the "feel". The one thing that I think is a have to do on a vanguard or howa is get a timney trigger for it

Or you could save some money and buy a Howa 1500.The Vanguard is built by Howa and it is based on the 1500 action.

I got the scope mounted on the Weatherby yesterday, now all I need is time to go to the range...

More precisely, a 1500 action on a Weatherby barrel.

I almost bought the Vanguard but settled on a Rem.700 instead.Only reason was the weight,the vanguard is listed as only 1/4lb more than the Rem. but it felt like more.Again as previously stated,shoulder them both and see what feels better.

Howa makes the barreled actions. The stocks are supplied by Weatherby once the barreled actions reach the Uninted States. The barreled actions are tested while in Japan and the sub moa ones get a different stock and a bigger mark up.
