Re: Remington 700 Tactical Target
A lot of people rag on the VTR because of the triangle barrel, a friend and I got a good deal on a couple of them and they shot great once we got rid of the gummby stocks. I bought a 700P a month latter and the VTR was every bit as accurate as it, both of them. The VTR makes a very nice walking deer rifle, it's light & balances out great in that gummby stock but I don't think Remington did it any favor by putting "Tactical" in the name because it is not what I would consider a tactical rifle.
I also had that B&C A5 stock which I also really liked, it's heavy but it makes a damn fine bench stock, it just wouldn't be my choice for field use.
Now, with that said, I did send my VTR to William for a donor action and not the Police, I also sold the B&C stock to my friend and got a MCM A5 with the KMW cheekpeice and yes it's nicer but also twice the price. Not everyone can or wants to dump a grand on a fully adjustable MCM and this B&C is a good alternative for them.
