Nice looking rig. I'd bet that that stock makes the LVSF a whole lot handier than it was with the wide, flat, forearm factory stock.



I like that setup too. I've got an LVSF in 243, and hated the factory stock, except when shooting off a bench. So, I swapped it out for an Alaskan T1 and now I love it.

I really like the design of the 700 LVSF barreled action, but don't care for the stock that came on them. Retrofitting the barreled action with a different stock can make them a much nicer package. Dropping the 700 LVSF was another one of those decisions that Remington has made that don't seem to make an sense.

I put together a couple of 700 parts guns with 700 ADL matte actions, 700 SPS matte bottom metal, 700 LVSF barrels in 223 and 22-250, and McM Sako/Tikka Hunter stocks. The Sako/Tikka Hunter style stocks aren't a perfect fit for the 700 action, but these rifles were put together before McM designed the McM Hunter to fit the primary actions from Remington, Ruger, Savage, and Winchester.

I did the same and "built" a .223 plus my fave calling rifle...pictured earlier in the thread, took an LVSF .223 barrel, set it back and rechambered for .222

Mine is a spectacular out of the box shooter. Savage 16 Weather Warrior 22-250. Did not have to tweek it except for some camo.

Bushmaster Predator 8" twist .223 and 69-77gr high end factory loads ( I don't use it enough to load for this rifle.) Prairie dogs to coyotes. I also like to use my dad's old Marlin 783 .22 Magnum for close in coyotes and prairie dogs.

Lately I’m using a Ruger Hawkeye in 223, with a Vortex Viper PST 4-16. I used to shoot only the 40 gr Ballistic Tip, which does evil to coyotes. The only problem was that every darn time I went coyote hunting, pigs would show up instead. So I switched to the 65 gr Sierra GK, and I have been knocking down those pigs. That Gameking bullet has flat impressed me.

It is so accurate I can't leave it home, love shooting it and is usually the one I grab. It shoots 32gr Blitzkings into a ragged hole and they are great woodchuck medicine. Have been using 35gr Bergers for coyotes and fox.

Depending on snow conditions and wind or those present when and if I call, I have three ready to go in the truck:

A Stag Arms lefty 223 AR, rattle-canned “Iowa winter” with a Nikon 2-10x. Likes Black Hills 55-gr PSP. (3100 fps)

A CZ lefty 204, also rattle-canned “Iowa winter” with a Leupold 4-14x set-and-forget. Likes Fed 32-gr NBT’s. (3850 fps)

A CA Ridgeline 243 with a Bush LRHS 2-10x. Likes Hornady 58-gr V-Max (3800 fps).

If I can get from 250 yards or in quietly, preferably 225 or in for the AR, either it or the 204 will do. Beyond that the 243. I live in farm country and don’t have to shoot beyond 400 yds.

I don’t hand load for the “micro-bores” any longer and these factory loads work well. Vel’s are chronographed.

LOL K22, I do have a heavy 22-250, but, I don't think those little 52gr AMAXES would have reached the North end of a 220lb wild boar headed North at 588 yards, the 210gr LRAB came out in the crease of the neck where it joins the shoulder, DRT, when I got back in the scope he was peddling those back legs hard in place.
