Re: VTR Shooters?
we shoot one in .223
very happy with it so far.
No issues what so ever.
Just got to get used to shape of barrel. KInda weird at 1st but it grows on you.
I think remington are starting to push these barrels a little more, releasing more and more models with the same design

Re: VTR Shooters?
I would think that a company like Remington would do a good deal of testing and design on something like this. It is so foreign to rifle owners and those that have old reliable would need a good reason to buy into this triangular barrel design with integrated compensator. I don't think they would release a firearm that wasn't proven to be legitimate at their own ranges.

Re: VTR Shooters?
Ok, I guess that would be an exception to the rule. I blame that one on A lot of Walmart stores closing down Gun sales.

Re: VTR Shooters?
The VTR was designed to give varmint barrel stiffness, with a lighter contour, while also providing more area for heat dissipation.
In this regards it seems to work.
Not too sure about the compensator.
especially on a 9 pound bolt .223
But hey, if it works, and you like it, shoot it.

Re: VTR Shooters?
I'm really interested in buying one of the new XHR models in 270. The XHR model is basically a VTR barreled action with a 24" barrel and no compensator. I'm sure the stock will be throw away, but if the triangular barrels seem to be shooters, then they should do alright.
