Remington, Browning or Weatherby?

Just my two cents
CZ 550 medium 9.3x62, Improved mauser action with controlled round feed ,two stock crossbolts, three position safety, functional open sights, and hinged floorplate with the release on the correct side of the triggerguard, set trigger, recoil pad and grooved reciever for scope mounting (no bases to come loose) the best part is its 100% Walnut and steel and weighs 7 1/2 pounds. 879.00
Cheers:)

yep, 9.3cz is a nice rig and calibre. i've got the 350 673 guide rifle, and its a nice set up too, but cz is so very nice.
 
Browning

My browning kicks ass, I've never had a weatherby or a remington but I think they are both pretty sweet. Don't let anyone tell you browning sucks, its all personal preference!
 
I've owned all three and of those three I'd pick the Browning in a New York minute.
Weatherby would be next.
Rem is kind of like a Ruger 10/22, M-14 or an 870. Americans love them so as a result, lots of aftermarket stuff around.

Rem 710


I love the idea of the vanguard, but every time I get worked up enough to buy one, I have to handle it first. And the fit and finish is soooo bad that I just have to nod, say thank you, and put it back. I mean: giant sharp mold line on the lousy tupperware stock? I threw Savage in just to show that you can buy a cheap, extremely accurate rifle that--while not pretty--isn't a dog either.

Never owned a Browning bolt, but I can't get past the gold-plated pimp triggers so I probably never will...
 
I have owned all three

Vanguards are the most accurate . The 257 would shoot 1/2"

Then Remington and last would be browning.

It should come down to which you like the best. Also look at the sub-moa Vanguard, they have a better stock and it has to shoot .75 at the factory so they can guarantee them at .99

Of the three mentioned the 700 seems the best.

Personally if I had a grand to spend I'd watch the EE forums for a used Sako.

My vote for a used Sako m75 in SS would be a sweet buy. :D If not, look at a Tikka T3 in laminate stainless. A bit heavier than the SS models so it wot kick the hell out of you as bad...:D

If not, a Remmy 700 LS would be a nice rifle also. I'm not a Browning fan myself, and the Weatherby Vangards seem to be a good buy.
 
Never owned or shot a weatherby, Have currently an older rem 7mm, nice shooter and handy, but it collects dust mostly. I prefer the A-bolt personally. Browning for life kind of guy, but keep in mind that I like the mag, I love the safety, love the bolt design but I wish I could find somewhere to lighten the trigger without creating creep. Trigger on the Rem is far superior. Small window for me to judge but another opinion for what it's worth.
 
Yeah, Darryl found me the perfect spring, there is a lot of after market stuff out there or just take it to a gunsmith and he will sort it out for you quickly.
 
"Hijack"

I've been considering a .338 too. My "daily driver" is a .270 Rem700 BDL so I'm thinking something bigger would be a good idea. How much different is a Vanguard vs. a MarkV? I know it's an economical Weatherby but how poor is the workmanship really? I wouldn't hesitate to get another Remington and I've seen recomendations for the 700 SPS (?) over the 710. Unfortunately price is always a factor and from what I hear it is strongly suggested to get a .338 magnaported or something similar = more $$$. It seems to me that there are still some economical manufactures that only chamber up to a 300 winmag. which makes me wonder how different is the .338 vs .300win?
 
My own opinion is that the workmanship on the vanguard is every bit as good as that on the mark V.And a muzzle brake is certainly not necessary on a 338winmag for most shooters.If you are concerned about recoil though,a 300winmag might be a better choice.
