Tikka are MOA guaranteed for 3shots, as are weatherbys...i own a Range Certified Weatherby Vanguard S2, i picked it up for around $900...id end up putting a stock on a standard vanguard anyway. I believe it also has a slightly heavier barrel than standard vanguards.
Ive had several Tikkas in the past, currently have a T3X forest, i havent fired it yet though.
The weatherby feeds like a dream, smoother than previous T3 Lites. I just love that rifle, its in .223
Howa and weatherby are like chevrolet/gmc or ford/lincoln
I really dont think u will go wrong with any of them...if possible find them locally and handle them
