A couple weeks back I posted looking for input on the Weatherby Vanguard Youth Compact -vs- the Remmy 700 SPS Youth. Yesterday we went to the shop and both got to handle and inspect the two rifles. For my choosing, I assumed both to be quality rifles and started counting the "pluses" & "minuses" for each. Here's what I found.

Minuses for the Weatherby:
-The safety locks the bolt.
-The recoil pad is not as cushiony as the Remmy's

Pluses for the Weatherby:
-Controlled round feeding.
-Floorplate release outside trigger guard.
-SMOOTH action.
-Comes with youth & adult size stocks.
-Guaranteed 1" 3-shots
-Free floated barrel.
-Adjustable trigger.

Minuses for the Remmy:
-Push feed.
-VERY sticky bolt.....even for me.
-Grooves in the forend & grip to collect dirt.
-Floorplate release inside trigger guard.
-Pressure point on barrel.

Pluses for the Remmy:
-Sims recoil pad is sweet.
-Slightly less expensive.
-Adjustable trigger.

I went into the shop figuring to come out with a Remington......just my gut feeling. My girl overwhelmingly liked the fit and feel of the Vanguard. I agreed.
