a bit heavy for walkin'
Really because my local gun store told me they were able to get the Hunter Stainless?...

Didn't say it was too heavy - just said it was heavy. And that's absolutely true, especially when compared to similar rifles from other vendors.First time I've heard a Vanguard is too heavy. I think you need to hit the weights.
I shoot a 270 with everything from 90gr TNT coyote loads to 150gr elk loads, and it'll do it all. It downloads really well with H4895 (115gr OTM @ 2600fps) for the kids, but still has the powder capacity to give you the thump when you need it.270win, 7mm-08, or 25-06
I have a Lite Stainless T3 in 270 and I think very highly of it. It carries well and is spooky accurate. For walkin' about kinds of hunting, I actually prefer my Ruger #1s but the Tikka is a close second place and is my favorite bolt gun.Lite Stainless on the Tikka T3
Viking- I think you are talking about the laminated stainless..
I dont think your going to find a win or rem with a free floated barrel from the factory either.
I am looking for anyone's opinions on these guns.
