Setup was:
Remington 700 VTR in .223
Nikon Monarch 4-16x42

Looks like fun. I'd only recommend to get straighter behind the rifle. Signing up to the online lessons will teach you a lot.

Re: First Day of Spring

how do you like the VTR? i have the varmint bull barrel in .223. i cant figure out with the higher rate of twist what lighter bullet to use to get the groups the way i wanted. i swapped out the stock for a b&c medalist. i think that triangle barrel is interesting looking. nice range too.

Re: First Day of Spring

To be honest, I really like the rifle, but I think its overpriced. You are pretty much paying for the triangle barrel, which in my opinion (while cool), its not that much of an improvement.

But then again, Im not exactly a super marksman lol ;P

I have the Remington 700 VTR in .223, but the Cabela's version. Remington made that a version with 24 inch barrel without the muzzle brake. And for the .223 there is real no need for the muzzle brake IMO. But the gun LOVES and I mean LOVES the Hornady 55 g V-max bullets. It has been shooting .367 to .156 inch 5 shot groups at 100 yards day in and day out.

Nice range and have fun.

Re: First Day of Spring

Dont get me wrong, its a great rifle and it shoots wonderfully. I just think you are paying more for it that you should, IMO. Its an awesome rifle though
