    I have a deer licence and use a SAKO 75 with 140grn Hornady. I was thinking of changing to this new rem out Model 700™ VTR.™ in .308. Anybody seen fired or own one of these? Do they have a straight stock as I fire of the left shoulder?model_700_VTR.asp
    Serious looking peice of kit for Target and hunting me thinks!
    All comments appreciate pro and against as it is very hard to get good rifle reviews on the net that are relevant to Ireland.
