Hey saw the vtr the other day and liked it so I got one on the way I am gonna use it for yotes and long range paper puntching. Has anyone else? Let me know how it worked out for you
thanks
later
I don't know about the shooting qualities of them...but they are tres chic! I want one...even though I have no use for it really. The triangular barrel is just plain cool looking, and I have a weakness for OD Green. LOL I wouldn't have to spray paint that rifle!

I shot the 308 Winchester version and it would group about 3/4 inch I just did not like the look of the rifle, it is plain ugly I think but it is functional

Yea I didnt really like it at first only seeing it on the computer and in magizines but when I got a hold of one at the gunshop I changed my mind it seems very balanced and light I think it would be an awesome walking varmit rifle just as long as it will shoot the one Iam getting it 308 so it should

LMAO...aint it funny how opinions vary? I think they are cool looking...and you think they are fugly. LOL I guess that's why they make so many models and makes of firearms.

haha i was planning on getting that too cause of the cool looking triangular barrel and the muzzle break (which does not reduce recoil * and it doesnt matter anyway cause .223 barely has any recoil anyway) . well i did some research and found out that the other 700 SPS Varmint is more accurate and 200 bucks cheaper. i decided on the sps and then waste the "rest" of the money on a good scope. iv'e been coyote hunting for a year now with my 30-06 (didnt keep the fur) but now that its getting into winter again i wanted to keep the thicker pelts so decided on a .223 cause the 30-06 just ripped baseball sized holes in the exit holes which i didnt mind cause i didnt want the pelts. but now i do. well anyway i would recomend the 700 sps. plus with the vtr the muzzle break is not part of the barrel so that takes off 2 inches off the barrel . i would rather get a longer barrel.
ive been wanting to get one in .204. i shot my buddys .308 vtr when he first got it last year. i liked it a lot. its feels good to hold and is pretty light, but its loud with that muzzle break. u definitely need ear protection for it.
I was going to post some stats until I read Sam's post, ROFLMAO !! I'm still laughing, and somewhere, someone is pushing pins into a doll, LOL !! Sam, you're the greatest !!

A friend of mine left one to me (vtr in 308) it looks different and I have not had a chance to shoot it yet, but I am not paying much for it and the revus look good so far. has anyone else shoot one or own one to give a good review ???? I have yet to shoot it.

I have one, a 22-250 that is my predator gun. I like. I can get it to group about 3/8 on a good day with no wind. It doesn't seem to like 55g ballistic tip rounds. It loves 40's. that is what i get the best groups with. I just loaded some 50, haven't had much time to play around with them. Just sighted the gun in quick with them the other day. the winds were gusting at about 30 to 35 mph at the time and i was trying to shoot between the gusts.
I still managed to get about a 3/4 to 1 inch group outta them. I know for hunting coyote here on the east coast of canada i wouldn't want to be haulling around a heavier gun. I am satisfied with it. Just ordered a bell and Carlson stock for it. That may make it better or worse and it only has a cheap 3x9x40 on it.
I have no complaints about it. On the other hand it is also the only centerfire varment cal rifle i own or have ever owned. So i guess i don't have much to compare too.
