Rem 700 vls

[bbrc]

At one gun store close to me there is a new Reminghton
VLS in 223 caliber 7 twist he sell it at 999$.
There a little scratch on top of the
receiver and a small ding in the wood on the forarm(sp).
Do you think its a fair price and does it have a detachable mag
check it real fast was in a hurry.

Like to use it for 200m to 600m paper punching maybe coyote hunting.
Later will learn to reload change barrel and stock make a bench gun.
What do you think

7" twist would be good for the longer distances because you can run a pretty heavy 223 bullet with such a fast twist. I would think up to 85gr.

if it`s new, it has to have a 12:1 twist rate that is for lighter bullets.

never seen a 7:1 twist on Rem 700 in .223......better to check it again....

There's nothing worse than buying a rifle thinking it is one twist and finding out that it is not what was advertised. Trust me.

I bought a Savage off the EE that was advertised as a 1:7 and it turned out to be a 1:10.5

It maybe a older model but its new .
You guys are probably right for the twist on the
REM site thats what they say is the price fair?

I'd be very surprised if that VLS is anything other than 12" twist..

Who makes a rifle in 223 cal in 7twist whit a heavy barrel?

The VLS has a hinged floorplate. The price seems a little on the high side for one with blemishes. I have one in .243 and I like it. The trigger on mine is horrible though.

Maybe Savage 1-7 twist ?? I think $999 plus taxes for a dinged up VLS is quite high. You would never sell one for that in the EE forums, just my opinion though.

 

[dogzilla]

The newest Le Barons catalog lists them at $1049. Last years catalog lists them at $849. Thats a $200 jump in one year.

Yes savage has one in 7twist model 12 varminter low profile.
What about CZ they dont post there twist.

The Rem 700 trigger is easily adjustable...do a google search for instructions

There is a 204 in LRPV for sale in the Precision EE from Pinedweller. Very good deal, and you could order a match barrel what ever twist you want and screw it on.
