I have done a Vanguard build and I will never do another. The lack of stock options is a royal pain. If you want any work done on the action, good luck!. There are very few smiths who are set up to do machine work on the action. I know someone will flame me on this call, but if you don't believe me, call your favorite smith and ask him to true a Vanguard action.
The Vanguard action is a good action, it just lacks after market options.
Having wasted $ on some of my bright ideas, I am now an advocate of using custom actions; Pierce, Stiller, Borden, ect.
