Looking to buy a Remingtom 700 VTR in .308. Would rather give the forum a shot before I go to the store and buy one.

Hey Pal!

When I left Pa. in 2000, I sold my Rem 700 ADL which would shoot dime-size groups at 100 yds. When I found that hunting was soooo good down here I started looking for a VTR .308. As a retired engineer, Vietnam vet and long-time shooter, I thought the .308 VTR design would / should be astounding! Sadly, after doing alot of research, found out that they are not that accurate and even inconsistent. do your research!

I believe that a Rem 700, .308 (used in Vietnam as a sniper rifle), is a great combination out to 600 yds for any game.......Just sayin!

I had a vtr and it shot great. Well under moa 5 shot rounds with off the shelf ammo. The only thing I didnt like was the break at the end. It really served no purpose other than looks but was loud as all get out. Gave me a head ache everytime I shot it in the woods.

I got one off the fourm last year. messed with the ajustable trigger and just could not get something i liked. replaced the rem ajustable with a jewel, and oh baby what a fine shooting factory rifle. 3 in a quarter @100. real happy with it, you will be too
