I'm a huge Weatherby fan so I'll cast another vote for the Wilderness. Most likely that in 240 Weatherby will be my next rifle. But honestly both are great choices and I think it comes down to what weight and which stock you prefer. I'm that annoying guy that loves to fondle and shoot other people's guns and one of the reasons I love the Vanguards is their quality control. Very consistent guns. I will agree, however, their pricing on their "upper" model guns is a little optimistic. They love to release new guns with different ceracote colors, or stocks dipped in different colors for quite the upcharge. That being said, after rotating through several different rifles I love my accuguard in. 257 Weatherby. It doesn't bother me but do prepare for the flutes to look quite rough.
