I have the vls in 22-250 and I love it super accurate but it is not a gun you will do alot of walking with

Kimber makes a nice one too. I just got the Rem VLSSTH but that is just for bench shooting. You can't beat the savage for price.

I would say skip the laminated stock and get a fiberglass job with an aluminum bedding block. My .22-250 Varmint Synthetic is about 20 years old, and will put five, (not 3, or 4 with a flier B.S.) into one ragged hole at 100 yards, with a warm load of 52 grain BTHPs. But like kenscot said about his vls, it is not a gun you will do alot of walking with.

Remington 700 LV SF in 22-250 would be my choice.

sniperVLS · « **Reply #5 on:** February 24, 2005, 06:54:11 PM »

forget the winchesters, rugers and savages, gets a VLS or VS. You wont regret it. ive already purposely used mine with the bipod and sling to see if it was doable, and yes even though its heavy, its not terrible.

I bought an LV-SF in 22-250. It's a very nice rifle, light and easy to carry. The extra $50 back from Remington makes it an even better deal. As soon as time/weather allow, I'll begin to break it in. MI VHNTR

Got any pics? I'd love to see some...

I have no experience with the 'exotic' line of rifles Remington puts out. By this I mean the match grade and varmint rifles. I just have a plain jane 700 ADL Syn. And I think that's all I'll ever need. But who knows?....

If I were buying a new 22-250 today it would be the new Rem XP-100 single shot varmint rifle with the laminated thumbhole stock You get a solid bottom action for stiffness and a Rem 5R barrel and a trigger that can be adjusted. Looks like a potential winner to me

Fishman029, I don't have any pics of my rifle yet. Here's the link to the Remington website with pic/info on the rifle.

I wish they made that in .308, I'd snag one ASAP.

JPSaxMan · « **Reply #11 on:** February 26, 2005, 05:32:39 PM »

Ooo...nice...

. I'm sure you're getting some good groups outa that one, no? If I were to get a new 700, I wouldn't buy one of the match grade rifles. Dunno why, I just don't think they would suit me. I would get me one of these

Light, probably accurate, perfect for the mountains of Forkston, PA :twisted: .

MI VHNTR · « **Reply #12 on:** February 27, 2005, 04:46:38 PM »

Fishman029, I haven't got a chance to shoot it yet. It's been snowing since Saturday and it's not supposed to quit until maybe Wednesday. This is after we receive a total of 2'-3'+ of snow, so I won't be shooting it for a while. :cry: Oh well, spring will soon be here. I hope. The mountain rifles are very nice and the detachable mag makes them even better. They are very nice rifles. MI VHNTR

JPSaxMan · « **Reply #13 on:** February 27, 2005, 04:55:52 PM »

Wow, and I thought I had it bad out here in PA. We're supposed to be gettin a Nor' Easter and we're expecting anywhere from 10-14". And that's freakin people out. Nonetheless 2'-3' :eek: . Wowsers. We'll get the snowblowers ready to dig ya out!

:-D

MI VHNTR · « **Reply #14 on:** February 28, 2005, 04:57:43 PM »

Here's the snow tally so far: Sat. 8", Sun. 14", Mon. 12" +. Forecast says 6"-12" tonight and the same for tomorrow. All thanks to Lake Superior and lake effect snow. This will continue until late Tues. night. The actual amounts can/will be higher. It just depends on the wind. Snowfall rates of 2"+ per hour can be expected. The Super Duty will be busy again tomorrow. It'll be a while before the rifle gets broken in though. MI VHNTR

MI, PA and me in OH. We got all the snow states covered. Lake effect snow tonight, and here I was thinking it would be warm soon :eek: ]

I sighted my VLS in 2 weeks ago in 20 degrees with 15 to 20mph winds...NOT pleasant :evil:

JPSaxMan · « **Reply #16 on:** February 28, 2005, 05:17:07 PM »

Here it comes. Ohh boy!!!

:-D . 4" already. WHOO HOO!!!!

I took my dog out 2 hours ago and it wasnt bad, I hear the snowplows go by so I look out the window...

to my dismay I see a good 3 to 4" already :eek: and this storm warning doesnt end for another 6 to 10 hours.

lets build snowmen, and spray paint targets on them(ofcourse we'd need a good backstop) :-)

JPSaxMan · « **Reply #18 on:** March 01, 2005, 02:54:21 AM »

Yea, ok, not bad...I went to take out the trash in my 18" tall LaCrosse AlphaBurly's...the snow came to the top of the boots around the back of the house :eek: . Hope the guy to plow comes soon...

MI VHNTR · « **Reply #19 on:** March 01, 2005, 04:46:25 PM »

The weatherman wasn't kidding, a foot + of snow last night and more today. The lake effect snow warning has been extended until 11 AM Wednesday. Another 4"-7" tonight and 2"-4" tomorrow and it's supposed to finally end. Spring starts on March 20th? Yeah right. It sure would be nice to take the plow off of my truck. MI VHNTR

sniperVLS · « **Reply #20 on:** March 01, 2005, 05:12:04 PM »

I shoveled this morning around 8am, no biggie, got home at 5 to find another foot of snow :shock:

another 3 to 5" tonight...wonderful

wow did we get off topic or what

I want more rifles!!

JPSaxMan · « **Reply #21 on:** March 01, 2005, 05:30:53 PM »

I want lots of things...a new tenor sax is first...then if there's funds left over a clarinet or a soprano sax...then maybe a gun. Sorry, music is the career and that comes first. :lol:

sniperVLS · « **Reply #22 on:** March 01, 2005, 06:15:58 PM »

Ill buy you a sax if you buy me a Korg Triton

Graybeard · « **Reply #23 on:** March 02, 2005, 01:39:09 AM »

What's all this talk about $50 back from Remington? How do I get it and where do I find out more. I've got one still in box and another I'll be picking up later this week. Where is the info on it?

JPSaxMan · « **Reply #24 on:** March 02, 2005, 02:19:15 AM »

Here ya are GB, I kinda had to dig, but here it is

Now what's this Korg? Synthesizer? Is that one that costs $5,000? Aw heck that. My tenor is only $1,500 :-D . Yea, ONLY $1,500.

JPSaxMan · « **Reply #25 on:** March 02, 2005, 02:36:37 AM »

Not to get off topic but I looked up your Triton, just to satisfy my itch. The 88-key studio model is $4,000. FORGET IT.

:-D
