Do not get a Ruger VT - they are dreadful. I had one for a while and the barrel is too light, and too rubbish for proper target work.

 

 

Where were you when I was asking for opinions before I put the order in! :(

In fact the consensus was that the older models had inconsistent barrel quality because Ruger out-sourced them from various manufacturers, but this was supposedly remedied by Ruger now producing all their barrels in house. Maybe that is wishful thinking.

 

Anyway, I'm not banging the drum for Ruger, it was only a suggestion. I got tired of waiting and bought an m595 instead. Maybe I had a lucky escape....

 

Actually now you mention it there were a couple of guys at the range on Saturday shooting a Remy 700s but they looked to be far from standard.
