My buddy and I each bought one in 308. I bedded mine in the factory stock using JB Weld compound. Best move was upgrading the trigger to a Timney wide blade trigger. I still think that was the best trigger on any rifle I have ever owned. Handloaded some Sierra 165 grain HPBTs over some CFE-223 and it was remarkably accurate. Killed my first decent deer at 455 yards with that bullet and a Nikon Prostaff 5 4.5-18x scope with the weird circular BDC reticle. Worded like a champ, broke both shoulders and went less than 30 yards. I only sold it because I got a .30 cal suppressor and needed a better rifle host. Sold the VTR for a Tikka CTR.
