[QUOTE="sniperjwt, post: 393894, member: 22262"] Ok ill try to answer your questions. First off i will start off by saying i have a 12 BVSS in 22-250. Between the two i would go with the BVSS if you are going to shoot off a bench. It has a wide flat bottom and sits on a bench really well. But then again it better because it is heavy. The VLP is the same weight but not really as good on the bench. The recoil is going to be the same being they are the same weight. As far as twist rate for the 150-170 grain bullets well i dont think it is going to matter however i would go with the 1-10 twist because one day you might want to try those heavier bullets and if you have a 1-12 it might not stabelize them. Now after saying all of that i will say this If you do decide to get the VLP i would give a strong look at the 300 WSM. Shooting the same bullets as the 308 it will outperform the 308 at any range and it is a commercial caliber so you dont have to worry about that. Good luck in what ever you choose but at least i know it will shoot good because it is a SAVAGE. Keep us updated on what you get and post some targets. [/QUOTE]
