Thread: Vanguard vs Zastava vs Howa

I've recently been after a new 223 as well so looked at a coupe of these.

The Zatsava I handled was finished terribly. They got a good write up in the latest guns and hunting mag, but I couldn't justify spending that kind of money on a rifle that felt so cheap.

I really like the Howa's I handled. If I were you I'd go for a stainless one of them. $999 with a scope, bag etc is a pretty damn good deal. Apparently the threading for the supressor wont work on most of the nz suppressors. I am not sure if that's bollocks or not so the guy at the gun store could try to sell me a more expensive rifle

In the end I coughed up extra and went with a Savage model 14 classic. Bit more money, but it's worth it.
