Which one....

Excellent observation, I think it only happens in the hunting and sporting arms section, I think it is good manners to show some respect and stick to an ops original question, sometimes it is entertaining and informative but mostly it is just rude and irritating.

Usually it’s all in good fun but these are some really good choices lol

Only on CGN could someone provide 4 good choices only to be countered with a weatherby vanguard and a gun no longer produced

It's a Vanguard action, same thing Nosler rifles are built on and better then the 4 mentioned, built by a respectable gunsmith, Jury barrel, irons, bedded in a laminate stock with a good recoil pad, Timney trigger.
Far better deal then the 4 rifles he's looking at, the cost of the work put into this one is probably $2500+.
There are 550's around in 9.3 if you look.
If there are better guns then OP may know about, should they not be thrown into the mix?

I saw that rifle and I’ve looked at it and still do every time I go on there site lol I just don’t know about about that action enough!
 
My 9.3 is a Vanguard and I really like it, laminate stock 22 inch stainless barrel, heavier than the Husqvarna or the Tikka, it is not CRF but I have 6 Vanguards from 257 to 375 and have never had an issue. The stock on the rifle at Prophet River is also my favourite style none of the original four choices fit me as well as a Monte Carlo style.
 
I own both, the Ruger African and the CZ 550 Lux... I would take the African over the Lux on every point, styling, fit & finish, handling AND accuracy. The CZ feels like a 2X4 compared to the African.

They must have just sold it as I was communicating with Monica from Corlanes last week to get the specs on the stock to see if it had the older or new style. Like Hoytcanon mentioned, the newer ones have a pretty thick stock.
The used one at Prophet and the ruger african (one just got posted on the EE) are both good choices. If you're feeling adventurous, Epps has a pump-action Verney-Caron. Neat rifle but that specific serial number was previously sold at auction for much, much less than they are asking.

I'm a huge Tikka fan and love my Battue. The sights are excellent but in a 9.3 I'd be going with the Ruger for sure.
