If it is just between those two I would go stainless synthetic. IMO shiny stocks do not belong on a hunting rifle.
Having said that, my first choice in the vanguard line would be the stainless sporter and second the sage country.

If I were going to get a Weatherby, I'd change my mind and get a Browning A-bolt or a Remington 700.
Just kidding! I've never owned a Weatherby that I can recall. I just love my A-bolt 30.06 and I love all of my 700's.

I inherited three Wby mag's: 300, 7mm & .257. All of them are Vangaurd deluxe. They are a bit heavy for function, but the wood is beautiful. If I was going to be hiking all day in rain, the lighter synthetic would be my choice. Since I mostly stand hunt and I inherited the guns...
You will never be sorry with a WBY.
