After spending massive hours at work (doing nothing ) and reading about the .300WSM I've concluded to two reasonably priced rifles. I have never shot neither of them nor the cartridge .300WSM. Interested, I want your opinions and suggestions on these two remarkable rifles. I was leaning towards the Vanguard, SUB-MOA stainless steel to be exact, but after reading about it's rival, the Tikka T3, I've been having second thoughts. Both are very attractive rifles and I am sure its accuracy is similiar to one another using the right ammunition, of course.
For me, the advantage of the T3 is the weight (1 pound less), 72 degree bolt lift (unlike Vanguard's 90 degree), smooth bolt action, free-floated barrel, adjustable trigger and not to mention its crisp pull ( 2 Ibs min. I believe), and most importantly a company affiliated with Beretta
On the other hand, vanguard models all come with factory shot targets to gaurantee its 1 1/2" 3 shot groups at 100 yards (.99" on sub-moa models ), the beautifully, attractive composite fiber stock, triple gas ports, and a reputation of the fine hunter's marksmanship.
As I've mentioned before I have never shot neither of these rifles, but have put massive amount of time into researching about one from the other. I've got the money rotting in my jeans, but just can't decide which one to grab. Im also planning on mounting a Leupold 4-12x40 A/O on whichever one I grab. If anybody in this forum have had any experience with either one please let me know. Any recommondations or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
HOPEFULLY I CAN MAKE MY DECISION BEFORE THE END OF FRIDAY
