[QUOTE="milanuk, post: 24735, member: 376"] Early last year, I picked up a Rem 700VS in .308 Win. Had some trials and tribulations w/ the thing, but in the end it wound up shooting pretty darn good. You didn't mention if you are handloading for it or not. Mine never did shoot very well w/ the only factory ammo I tried, Federal Gold Medal Match 168gr and 175gr. It *really* liked 175gr SMKs over 45.0gr of Varget w/ CCI BR2 primers. I got a load working w/ 168gr SMKs, but I've never gotten anything lighter like a 155gr to work. If your barrel is like mine, it likely has an overly long throat, so trying to seat out to the rifling may be futile. Also, mine has a rather large diameter neck chamber (fired brass comes out around 0.346-0.347). For my gun, concentricity was key. Getting the runout down under 3-4 thou for loaded rounds was the secret to small groups. HTH, Monte [/QUOTE]
