Get the new Vanguard, it has a better trigger.
Talk about recoil, Why? Get one of those Sharp Shooter Magnum Rifle Rests from Cabelas $99.99. Do all your load testing and playing with one of them with your forend clamped in solid!!! I did it with my 264 last season. Point of impact did not change when put on sandbags. It makes a handy tool to hold rifle for cleaning and scope mounting. Best $100 I ever spent for shooting.
It eliminates pulled shots as it holds the crosshair solid without any movement. You still get some kick but not like off the sandbags.
Never have noticed any recoil when shooting at a deer or elk.
Sandbags like a poor orgasm. Rifle rest listed above is like your best 10 combined.
