[QUOTE="johnnyk, post: 1119533, member: 307"] I started out as a Remington man, in fact, I have owned/shot several Sendero's in various calibers, even shot the barrel out on one in 7mmRM. Also had the older VS (Varmint Special's - BDL) in .22-250 and .243 and the newer Varmint Synthetic in .22-250. I loved those Remington's. Owned a couple of Winchester's too. One, in .30-06, that never shot under 1.5", I GAVE it back to the guy who gave it to me. The other was a short action, heavy barrel in .243Win. It shot real good and accounted for my first groundhog at 600yds. That's really nothing now but I was cutting my teeth. Traded it to VistaBob for another firearm. Sure, they all shot good. Shot lot's of itty-bitty groups with 'em, but only after a little fussing. I'm sure not all Remington and Winchester's are fussy but I've never heard of, seen or shot one that performed like my current 112 BVSS in 6.5-284 has from the git-go. The only mod its seen is a stock swap. I swapped with another LRH member who wanted the BVSS stock for his Low Profile Varminter stock. It actually fits me better and I had it fiberglass bedded by a gunsmith in Georgia (Collier Rifles) who specialized in Rem700's. When I look for a rifle it must have at least a 26" barrel. Most factory heavy barrel's come in that length, some 24" but I stear away from them. Wish they came in 28" or longer. Probably more info than you needed but thanks listening. JohnnyK> [/QUOTE]
