You guys that don't like the Kimbers must have hands the size of baseball gloves. They are slim classic style rifles. If I could get one for $150.00 more than a Vanguard I wouldn't even be thinking about it. Give me the phone number of that gun store I want to call them.
However, I do agree you have to buy what feels best to you. I have a Vanguard in 257 Weatherby Magnum. I kills deer like they were hit by lightning.
