IMO the Howa1500/vanguard twins have but one fault...they're a little heavy. If you want real a light rifle I'd look elsewhere.

My other 243s ( Winchester Model 70s) have a one in ten twist, and they have zero issues stabilizing a 105 grain Hornady BTHP, or the old Speer 105 SP...( a bullet I miss a lot)....

I prefer the BTHP over the A Max, anyway since it is a non issue...people ought to try a bullet in their rifle, instead of just listening to what people on the internet say what it won't or will do...

No experience with the new trigger but the two Vangards I've owned were tack drivers.

...and this is why I don't own them anymore... heavy.

Tikka on the other hand... lightweight AND tack drivers...
