Whoa jrhilde. If you're buying a vanguard with a wood stock it's the vanguard 2, right? MSRP of $849. Ruger #1 at $1349 or Remington 700 sps wood tech at $800 (cheapest I found, half synthetic from the looks of it)...you're going to compare that to a savage axis with a MSRP of $375?

Not exactly apples to apples, is it?

It would compare to a regular cheapo vanguard...which I have in .308. Crappy flimsy stock and a trigger that I took a full pound off just with a bit of polishing.
The axis also has a removeable magazine instead of the hinged plate and a tang safety, which I think is a bit easier to use over the vanguard's. The closest remington to compare with is the 770...and ruger has the American
