I tried an LVSF and a VSSF II and I think a VSF(?, all these abbreviations make my head hurt). One had a pig of a trigger, one decent and one quite good but I reckon the VLSS was the best of the lot to be honest. Oh I just can't wait. Thanks for the link too is the remmy dearer than the tikkas new? is it the nightforce scope your putting on it ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

john faul Posted July 26, 2007 Report Share Posted July 26, 2007 that said he can and does shoot 1 and a half inch groups with his 223 witrh remington ammo just of the bipod consistingly! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lazza Posted July 26, 2007 Report Share Posted July 26, 2007 John G, my Remmy likes Federal or Norma ammo. on a bad day(for me ,not the rifle) I would expect to be in a 10p piece at 100 yards, off of a bipod. On a good day I'd expect to be within a 5p piece. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lazza Posted July 26, 2007 Report Share Posted July 26, 2007 John F, Thank you and I appreciate your comment about shooting out in the field being different, but thats precisely the reason I try to get a good zero. If there is a bit of movement in the field, the bullet will still strike within an inch of my zero and give a clean kill. John G About 8 inches across Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
