[QUOTE="johnnyk, post: 394292, member: 307"] dook, I think the 1-12 is sufficient to stabilize the 150-168gn range of bullets and may go a little higher. Not sure, the only .308 I had (Savage 110 J series) had a 1-10 twist and I shot 150-168gn range also. It was quiet accurate. I currently own two 112BVSS's, an older one is .300WinMag and more recently one is 6.5-284. Wow, do these things shoot good. I have only really tried the 180gn in the .300WM but have obtained .3's at 100yds and 3" groups at 600yds. I'm getting 2.4-2.5" groups at 500yds with the 6.5-284 and 120gn SMK bullets. Minimal load development in both but anxious to try heavier pills in both. I have no personal knowledge of the VLP other than what I've read on Savage's website. I like the looks of the stock and have made up my mind that if I run across one in .300WSM I will try my best to get it. Not a short mag fan but there's always room for another in the stables. For bases check out EGW. I use a one piece Leupold STD with Burris Signature rings on the 6.5 and have Burris Dual Dovetail rings/bases on the .300. Good luck with your decision but you can hardly go wrong when both choices are a Savage. :) JohnnyK. [/QUOTE]
