Remington VLS....1 of 400
I have a chance to buy, from a dealer, a Remington 700 VLS with stainless steel barrel and black striped wood stock for $688. It's not in stock but one of the employees bought two. But they were not in the store when I talked to him.
Supposedly there are only 400 made in .223 and 400 made in .22-250
These were made for a distributor. I was told Remington will make a gun per your request - 400 guns minimum. That is how these came about.
Does this sound like a good deal? Should I jump on it?
I originally wanted a Remington VSSF

I'd personally take the VSSF before the VLS. I like the synthetic stock over the laminated. I have a VSSF on my wishlist as well as its bigger brother the Sendero SS...
I don't know much about the special runs from Remington. For some reason, Remington seems to like to remain an enigma with its intentions and to a lesser extent its product.

Has anyone had the chance to shoot the VSSF? Sounds like a sweet setup![:0] 0 -
The VSSF is supposed to be one of the most accurate rifles right out of the box. No gunsmithing.

Yes, in a 220 swift. One of my personal favorite rounds. They are kinda expensive to shoot in that caliber unless you reload however.
Let's just say that the rifle was more accurate than I was...

I have the VSSF in 220 swift and with a 40gr hornady v-max moly pill, I can get .250" and even less when I do my part. The heavy fluted barrel with target crown, and HS Precision stock, (already pillar bedded from the factory) make it one nasty rifle.
My Sendero SS fluted 7mm mag will group .5" regularly, and again, when I do my part, less than .5", all with Federal 150gr Nosler balistic tip.
Ruger-Niner, I have seen several of those rifles for auction, and they are beautiful. The nutmeg laminated stock with the stainless action and barrel is a striking combination. I would venture to say that the small caliber wouldn't benefit any more from the HS Precision stock that is on the VSSF, because of the relatively low amount of torque and recoil of that caliber. If you like the rifle, I say buy it. The epoxy impregnated, laminated hardwood, will last far longer and remain far stronger than any standard wood stock. I would bet that the rifle you are looking at will do better than .5moa with notning but a trigger adjustment, which you can usually talk the gun store into doing for free when you pick up the rifle.
I'm a man,....but I can change,.....If I have to,......I guess.0 -
I just found one on the auction.

Kinda looks like you answered your own question Rugerniner. I personally am a fan of laminated stocks. I do not like recoil and the little extra weight in the impregnated laminate helps dampen it. I am with JustC, I say buy it and enjoy! 0
