Re: HS precision VSF or LTR?
<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: johnny-bravo</div><div class="ubbcode-body"> My 700 sps aac-sd has a good sized barrel, will it drop into the HS precision VSF, or will I need to get work done?

if you cant tell, im leaning towards the VSF, just afraid I wont like the LTR
also from the info provided by stockey, the VSF weighs the same as the LTR @ 2.5lbs or a 40oz'r for all you drunkards </div></div>
Yes, it's a drop in fit. Varmemt contour of the VSF/VLS and the LTR, PSS, SPS-T, AAC-SD, 5R and other factory Remington tacticals are all the same. If you buy another take off HS Precisions stock or order a new one someplace and it says Rem Varment contour you're good to go. The VSF stock is an alright stock just like and just a little longer than the LTR. I like the LTR, PSS and 5R stocks, none weight a lot by any means. They all offer little differences. The PSS has a large palm swell area and nice fore arm but it's nto everyones cup of tea because if the larger palm area, The LTR, VSF & 5R butt and palm swell areas are all but the same. From that point forward you have 3 totally different stocks. The VSF isn't as wide in the for arm area, the LTR is trimmed down even more & smaller in the fore arm and the 5R has a wider well though out fore arm that seems to be a good mix of not being to wide but still will ride in bags ok and handle well shooting off hand.
I got a bit off topic I guess. The LTR is a nice compact factory package and the VSF with it's 26" barrel is a bit long for some folks. Both are 1-12" twist. If you buy the LTR and dont like the stock off load it and pick up a McM, Manners, another HS in different style, or go the less expensive options out there.
