Great pie at Wall Drug too!
For a real treat, try the peach pie at Al's Oasis on the West side of Chamberlain.
As an aside, how does bedding affect resale on these. My VS 7-08 does shoot well as is and is in excellent condition but boy would I like to try for sub .5 MOA
Though I don't follow collector pricing on stuff, I'm sure an unaltered version is what a collector would want. The 7-08 Varmint Specials are second only to the 25-06 Varmint Specials in production numbers. BTW, the 25-06 Varmint Special was the only chambering ever available in a long action Varmint Special. All the Varmint Specials (incl. the 25-06) were 24" barrels.
I've got a new take-off 1978 Varmint Special barrel here in 308W. The chamber is pretty surprising as the throat is short enough that even the 1.00" jacketed bullets I make will touch the rifling with .100 of the bullet still in the case neck. The neck is also nice and snug at .340. No doubt as to why the 308 Varmint Special were shooters!
Good shootin' -Al
