I too have been looking at the green beast. I tried to order one today in a 22-250. No one has any in stock. I ordered a SVF instead. it was almost $200 more.

I handled one a few days ago, and it felt very nice. Not too heavy and very well balanced for a rifle with a high rigidity barrel.

A Dick's Sporting Goods I was in today had one in .308. They said they just got it Wednesday. $799. I'll wait till the guys at the local gun shop can get one. They quoted me $669.

My father in law just bought one in .308 he hasn't shot it yet but it is a slick looking rifle, it has a nice crisp trigger pull too. Don't they have adjustable triggers?

Fellow Remington lovers. Just wondering if anyone has a range report on this new VTR. I picked one up in Cabela's the other day and it felt nice, (minus the stock) looked nice, but I'm a bit concerned about the muzzle brake, triangle barrel, and stock. I don't believe that the stock is glass or aluminum bedded. I also think that aftermarket parts such as the stock, threads for the barrel if you want to add a suppressor, trigger, etc... could be a challange to find if a guy wanted to customize and accessorize this rifle. also the brake is about 2 inches long, no rifling of course, which means that this is a 20 inch barrel with a 2 inch brake.

I'm considering trading a rifle off on either an SPS or VTR in .308

I have heard from other forums that the stock is a P.O.S. just wondering if anyone has input or a range report on the rifle?

It looks cool, and you might be able to fit it into a Knoxx Stock. Range reports? You can get alot of after market stuff for Remmy's

tried my vtr 223 at 250 yrds, very tight group. havent tried at 300 yrds. very good rifle. like my 22 250 sps better.

I'm still tempted to get one...it's a really cool looking rifle.

How's the recoil on the .308?

Just picked mine up last night. Love it!! Got it all cleaned up and lightened the trigger a little. Probably mount the scope tomorrow and start getting some loads put together. Next Sat morning I'm going to give it a workout. Dave
