I like the Browning original BLR. I think that I'd like the Browning 1885.
I think the Browning X-bolt and the Browning A-bolt are about the worst bolt actions built since 1898. I'd take a Russian WW1 rifle over a Browning bolt action. Heck a long knife is better than a rifle that doesn't function. The knife is easier to carry too.
The Vanguards are a good rifle for the money.
The comparison is like a corvair with a powerglide and 4 doors vs. a high performance corvette.
