simon6ppc Posted June 20, 2013 Report Share Posted June 20, 2013 hi guys i finaly got my new toy a remy vssf mark 2, in 22.250,i shot it in over two days trying 40,50 and 55 grain noslers,i am very pleased with its accuracy as i was doing three quarter inch groups for fun and the odd half inch with 5 shots at 110 yard which to me for 22.250 is good i think,i also got a ace ultra Sl5 silencer which for the size of it i cant believe how quiet it is, the only thing is the trigger does want to be a bit lighter,ive seen on you tube how to adjust them, but dont know if i should just take it to a shop, are they easily adjusted or is it some thing a gun smith should do , cheers simon...

simon6ppc Posted June 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2013 Hi Simon, Congratulation's on your new toy. As i might have sold my sako 75 in 243, what's you verdict comparing the sako and your remmy. atb barnacle orite barny.ive used a sako 75 for years so its like my third arm, this remy is strange at the moment but it does shoot,ide say the sako 75 has the edge on the trigger, may be balance and even feel of it, but i rekon in a week or so when i adjust the remy trigger i should be knocking foxes over just like my old 75 6ppc, which by the way i dont think i will get a gun any better for the money.thats going for a new barrel now while this remy gets put through its test, cheers simon...

Superb foxing/varminting calibre. orite pal, to be honest i have not spent enough time with it yet but it shot the 40 and 50 grain noslers spot on,around half to three quarter inch when i had got used to the trigger. some 3 to 4 shot groups where well under half inch but the last one just kept making them half inch or just over , i think when the trigger is adjusted and i get used to it, it should shoot half inch all day so long as i dont heat it up, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
