Thanks for the video. It's nice to see a fellow VTR 597 owner, enjoying a rifle that doesn't experience any problems, that many people claim plagues the VTR

BCboy, you mentioned adjusting the guide rods... How exactly did you adjust them? Does the rifle not come out of the box with the proper torque on them? Did you need to use a torque wrench, or did you do it by feel?

Satain, will the Shooter's Ridge mags engage the bolt catch?

I just backed the 2 setscrews off untill they were finger tight , so the guide rods are all most floating
