I think if you would have started this with a poll, you would have seen that 90+% would be voting for the Vanguard. If you still want the Browning, buy one and find out why the "bashing". If you don't want the Vangaurd, why not consider the 77, 70, 700, Tikka etc.


Good post and put me in the Abort-bashing crowd. Owned two. On one, the trigger guard shattered after a relatively light tap on the back of a truck as I was getting aboard, and the other, the ejector kept hanging up and when I took the bolt apart, I was so frustrated, I almost climbed a water tower. Horrible, Rube-Goldberg design.

A good principle to guide me through life: “This is all I have come to expect, standard lackluster performance. Trust nothing, believe no one and realize it will only get worse…”
