Re: rem 700 VSF .308
Photos? OK...
A '96 SS VSF in .308, bought from a friend as a favor in '02. Originally had Bushnell Elite glass on it in Redfield Jr. bases and rings. Added a 20moa base and PRI 1" rings and painted it Krylon camo. Shot it a couple times at 100m on paper and 300m on LaRues. Shot just as good as any 700P or LTR, it deserved better glass. Put it up and it ended up in the back of the safe until better glass came along.
Late last year, had the BO knob installed, stripped it, degreased and painted it in Flat Black Aluma-Hyde II. Skim bedded it, adjusted the factory trigger and mounted the Leupold 3.5-10x40 M3 FFP/TMR in 30mm PRI rings.
Didn't have much range time as I had to set up 2 rifles that were more important to get done at the time. Boresighted it using my Sweany collimator and let fly 3 rounds @ 100m off the bipod prone in the grass. Forgot my rifle targets, so used a shot-up pistol target that was left downrange. Used where the red square is as an aiming point
.
Made the dope changes up and right and fired 1 round, zeroed the knobs, packed-up and left
.
Only VSF I've ever shot, but this one does shoot. I do need to take it out more often though, I like the stock better than the 700P but not quite as much as the LTR...
