I just purchased a vls in 243win. I have been impressed so far. I finished the barrel breakin yesterday. I shot four, 3shot groups under 3/4 of an inch with Winchester Super X 100gr. power points. I want to try some 95gr ballistic tips. All I've done to the gun so far is a little trigger...

I am looking a purchasing a remington 700vls in 243. What is the best rate of twist for this caliber? Info will be greatly appreciated In God I Trust.

I am looking at building a custom gun and was wanting information on barrel makers. I have decided to build a Remington 700 in 308win. What would be a good twist for this caliber. I'm going to use a Jewel trigger. Information will be greatly appreciated. In God I Trust!

Hey Guys Thanks for the information. I plan on getting a reloading outfit but it may be a while. Therefore I will get a 308win. because of the amount of factory ammo that I can get for it. I also like the 308 because of its reputation as a accurate caliber.Once again, thanks for the info...

I was wondering what you guys thought of the 260. remington. Would it be a good choice for an all around bullet? (Varmints, targets, and deer.) I am considering the tikka t3 varmint stainless. I've been looking at the 7mm-08 and it seems to be a good all around caliber. I also considered...

Does the tikka have any type of beding done to the stock? I've been looking but I can't find any information stating weither or not it is beded. Information would be greatly appreciated. I'm starting to lean towards the tikka t3 because from reading info from this site it seems to be a better...

I think I've made up my mind between the two. I'm about 95% sure about the Tikka T3 Varmint Stainless. Instead of 308 I'm going to try to find one in 7mm-08. If I can't get one ordered in that caliber then I will go back with the 308. One question about the Tikka though, is the action beded...

Varmint Hunter, Forget the Howa. So, you thank the tikka t3 varmint will be the best gun between it and the remington? I may have to get the 308 because the tikka site stated that the 7mm-08 was available under special order only. I'll try to find a dealer that can order me a 7mm-08 but if...

Varmint Hunter, Thanks for the information. I'm considering reloading so you thank the 7mm-08 may be a good choice. I'm trying to stay away from the smaller calibers. I had a 22-250 in the remington 700vssf. It performed well. I killed 4 deer with it and not one moved from where it was...

Does any have any info on how to adjust the triggers on the tikka t3 rifles. Info would be greatly appreciated. In God I Trust!

Thanks varmint hunter. I was just looking at the tikka site and they garantee 1 inch moa. I also took a look at the calibers it comes in. I saw that it is chambered in the 270wsm. What do you thank of this caliber as an all around caliber. Be it varmints, targets, or deer. Also, does it...

Why do you choose the tikka over the remington? And how did you know that I was also considering the t3? I really liked the 700 but from the articles I've read at this site remington is loosing there reputation for quality guns. The tikka doesn't offer much for customizing down the road and...

308 nate, what kind of gun are you shooting? I'm looking at buying a new varmint style gun for all around use. Varmints, targets, and deer. I was looking at the new remington 700vsf and the tikka t3 varmint stainless. I was favoring the remington but it apears that there reputation is going...

I will be using the rifle for an all around gun. Varmints, targets, and deer. I did not know that remington was loosing its reputation until I joined long range hunting. What kind of problems are people having with them? I really like the remington but it appears from reading other peoples...
