Boddington wrote up the VTR version in guns and ammo. He tried to put on a good 'marketing' face but accuracy seemed pretty poor to me for a heavy barreled VTR. Average 5-shot groups:
1.22
1.24
1.53
1.60
2.70
I would pass.
I bought a .260 Model 7 in 2001. I'd do a Snoopy dance if it shot that well with any bullet/powder/primer combination.
I've always attributed the crappy accuracy to the 1 in 9 twist. I've got an iron sighted Swede made in 1899 that will out shoot it with almost any combination I feed it.
