Heck it's free, gonna get it done either way. .

65BR Campfire Ranger Joined: Feb 2007 Posts: 16,512 Louisiana	Just wondering how you're going to squeeze those 107s thru that 223? Nice - had a VLS long ago, chopped to 22", the BEST thing I ever did to that rifle, shot better as I recall when shorter and 3400 w/50 Bts over 2015BR.....handling improved 1,000%, and the VLS stocks always fit me like a glove, floated shot fine, shot many sub inch groups at 200 yds when on a 7/08 V I had chopped to 21"... My old VLS was 14 ROT IIRC, is this one 12 or 9? Nice rig.

Hopefully it shoots better than it did before because I wasn't too impressed. As you can see the old crown left something to be desired so I ain't losing nothing. .
