I grew up shooting a mid-60's Remington 700 in 7mm Rem Mag. In 1997, I acquired another 700 in .243. Both guns have hit and instantly killed everything to which I have aimed and pulled the trigger at varying distances. I recently acquired a Weatherby Vanguard Series 2 in .223 Rem for my kids. It came with an guaranteed sub-MOA accuracy at 100 yards, and by god, it delivers. The finish is cheap compared to my Remingtons, but I am seriously tempted to buy another one in a caliber that I want or don't have, it is that good. My son, who is 11, went with me on his first hunt a week ago, slayed 3 hogs and a deer with the Weatherby. I am starting to think that the Series 2 is the best bargain out there. To answer your question, it is take your pick.
