.204 R700 VLSS Thumbhole. Accurate?

[RowdyYates]

Not sure if that's the correct nomenclature. 26" non-fluted stainless barrel, laminated thumbhole stock, no longer made; not an XR100 (I wish). One coming up at a local auction and am wondering if these were reasonably accurate; I suppose about like any "modern-day" Remington: kind of a gamble. Also, they aren't light but does anyone carry them for coyote hunting?
I need another .204 about like a hole in the head (have three now). But one can't really have too many, right?

I don't think there is such a thing as an over abundance..... I love my VLSF II

If you get it and it's not accurate, rebarrel it and turn it into a 20 VT.

I have two of them, other than bedding and free floating the barrel they're stock and shoot as good as anything else I have...HTH

I also have 2 and my original barrel was very accurate and lasted much longer than my pac-nor barrel

I was contemplating free floating and bedding my R700 VLS, what kind of results did you achieve when you did yours? Thanks!!!!

[Jim White]

I've shot .250x.250" @ groups @ 200 yards when I'm doing my part...

Why aren't these barrels free floated in the beginning?

[Jim White]

To a degree they are but there is a built-in contact point at the very end of the stock, other wise they do clear the barrel channel...Jim
