I was considering buying a new Vanguard.
What is your impression of them?
Does it group decent? Like 1.5" at 100
Nice trigger pull?
Feed ok?
Thanks for your help.

I bought a Vanguard Back country in 300wm. It shoots fairly tight groups and I didn't notice any creep in the trigger. The bolts a little sloppy and after 80 rnds shot out of it I've decided I don't like the raised cheek piece on the stock. If I could do it over again I think I would have bought the remy xcr.

I have a sub-moa ss vanguard in 22-250. My trigger was super brutal but nothing a timney couldnt fix. I'd definately get another one but would budget for a trigger.

I have the stainless laminate in 300 WBY. Thing groups great and I think the trigger is fine. Overall very satisfied with the gun.

I have one in .257 Weatherby and it shoot's sub moa with every bullet I've put through it to date with the exception of 120 grain Speer's, and they shoot about 2 inch groups at 100 yards. I did a trigger job on mine cause I wasn't impressed with the factory one, but if I was doing it again I'd just put a Timney in it and be done.
Overall, they are not too bad for the money in my opinion.
