    Remington 700 values

    Don't about values,but,I have late 90's Rem 700 bdl VLS in 7-08 that is so accurate it's scary. On a good day(me not it) it can shoot a .30-.35 cal 3 shot group.I don't like to shoot enough to heat the bbl./chamber very much. Other than cleaning,it hasn't been touched. My friends can tell you...
