Weatherby Vanguard S2 or Winchester 70

[mike t]

Im looking for advise from people that have experience with these 2 rifles. Ive narrowed my next pirchase down to these 2 rifles and am leaning towards the Weatherby but would love to hear what everyone (that have these 2 rifles) else has to say.
Thanks in advance

I don't have any experience with the Winchester but I would highly recommend the vanguard2. I picked one up a few weeks ago and I've never had an out of the box gun so accurate.
What caliber are you going to get?

I've got a couple S2 Lazerguards and 4 of the FN Winchesters.

Much will depend on what you want. The Vanguards are a bit heavier and are consistently great shooters. They always seem to work and are a real bargain at the low end.

The M70 are a classic CRF action, and have always had a natural fast handling, slender feel to them. Don't expect it to shoot like a Vanguard.

You won't go too far wrong with either of them

my vote is also the Vanguard...just a great rifle.
