A new wrinkle to consider. A dealer in my area just put all the non-wby chambered Vangard2 rifles on sale for $375. At equal price, is the Ruger American a good value compared to the V2?

I love the Ruger American, but for that money the Wby would be hard to turn down...

That' a Howa action, IIRC... my son in law has one in 7 mag... it's a nice rifle indeed.

Reynold, while the Ruger seems to be accurate the Vanguard S2 is far better made. For the same money, I would jump on the S2

Thats my thoughts as well Joe.
