    What of the R700 SPS Varmint?

    I'm really intrigued by the R700 models. And I'm having a tough time choosing an affordable one that can shoot 1000yrds effectively. I've been recomended the SPS Varmint over the VTR. And Did some research. I like the SPS better. The barrel isnt of that new triangle cut crap. And it's got a 26"...

    What do YOU think of the R700 VTR?

    I'm looking to buy my first high powered rifle. For hunting and target shooting. Now I want to own a rifle effectively capable shooting at 1000yrds. Though I may not be able to fire at 1000 yards yet, I'd rather buy one lifetime gun than buying specific guns for specific ranges as I get better...

    Gunsmithing Just dropped off my .22 for repairs.

    I have a .22 Winchester breakdown rifle made way back in 1937. And the ejection wasnt fully functional. So the bullets would jam and or cartriges wouldn'nt eject. The break down lock wasnt holding in the barrel tight either. So thats going to cost me a respectable $90. I think thats a great price.

    Help? First Gun.

    Re: Help? First Gun. 400yrd shooting is about as far as I've gone. Since I dont own any guns myself, all of those shots were fired from other peoples guns, such as a 30-06 and an M1garand. M1 garand is one of my favorites. And if I'm not mistaken, that is whats in the picture you had posted...
