Default Remington VTR 308

I made the switch semi autos to a bolt gun. I picked out this one and got the salesman to knock off a couple hundred bucks.
The trigger is set at 3 and a half pounds and it works perfect. Cant wait till next year when i take it hunting.





And a pic of my ruger 10/22 zombie gun hehe.

Have you fired it yet? I'm interested in picking up a vtr in .204 ruger. I've run through every varmint gun out there for months and keep coming back to the vtr.

I want a cz 527fs in 22-250 as a shoulder ready iron sighted bush gun, but I think a vtr is the perfect sit and call varmint gun.

I can't tell what kind of scope you have on that thing...??? I guess they stopped making those super light grain slugs (can't remember what they called them now) for the 308, or they would have been great for varmints. What grain will you be using?

Looks like a Nikon Buckmaster with a sunshade attached and target turrets from the Monarch line.
