[QUOTE="Mike6158, post: 333034, member: 1039"] No offense taken. I don't mind putting it out there and hearing what I'm already thinking. One thing about the VTR- the factory stock is pathetic... I figured that since I had 4 very tightly grouped rounds that I did something but ?? I don't know what. At 100 yards the groups from all 24 rounds while not great, were usable for hunting. Around an inch except for the .130 off the lands. Those were bad. The weird thing about the 200 yard fliers was that they formed a nearly perfect triangle. I'm pretty sure I didn't flinch as the gun has very little recoil. I'm going back out today. 20 rounds all loaded the same way. The more I shoot the VTR the better it gets BUT I've got a 20 year old 700 BDL in .270 with an older 3-9 Leupold that gives me sub-moa groups even at 200 yards. Always has. On the upside I can always send it to someone, have a new barrel put on it, bed it, and tune the action up :D At least Remington still makes a decent action. Or I ould just sell it. Or I could use it for a deer slayer and not worry about driving tacks. [/QUOTE]
