i got mine today and got it all set up and then i went to the range. it was cold and i think that i got frost bite on my triger finger.
this is the first new SUCKS that i have owned i am a beliver now. the rifle is first rate and the second 3 shot group that i shot went way under and inch. now all i need is some good weather to work up a load or two and the a coyote to get in the way of v max.
it seams to balance right in front of the first action screw. it is quick to shoulder and the bolt is right up there with a tikka in smothness. i need to get the triger worked on then some good weather.
What's a SUCKS?? I've seen the term used a lot here, and never have been able to figure out what it means. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />

It is a derisive sounding name for the Remington 700. But actually used with affection. It goes back a couple years, and started with a post by one of our whiney-er forum participants <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
Okay. Got it!! You sure won't find me complaining too much about 'em. Aside from a few recent QC issues, same as everybody else, I think they're just great rifles. I've got a pile of 'em; a little trigger work, maybe some bedding tiks to clear up, and you're set. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Well at least one of you got it right <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> On a more serious note I'm kind'a smitten by this LVSF and it's down to between it or a Tikka in .223. Tough call.
This place most certainly is The Greatest Show On Earth.
Oh myyyy..that one hurt me...............

I too bow to the master, and will now refer to to it as whiney +P
On a gun related note, my 223 LVSF is on its way. Cost me a DCM Garand that I never shot plus $50. Now I need to figure out how to swing the optics that I want.
