I going to call that one! What a load of rubbish!

If the barrels were CRAP the rifles would not have the accuracy reputation they clearly have. Shotout I don't know where you get your information, but how about you back your statement up with hard facts?

lol fellas . good to see the riverly still there . seriously i did own a ruger vt 223 before i bought the savage , but it seemed to go off accuracy very quick ? .gun shop had no expanation for that one .as for cleaning & accuracy well , ill stick to my savage any day. only wish savage put more build qaulity into the triggers . hope you all know im just trying to get fish to bite .- about the rugers anyway !
good thing the savage did was put a 1 in 9 twist barrel in for those 69gr sierra,s . does ruger still only build the 1 in 12 or have they woken up yet ?. took savage along time to realize they needed a 1 in 13 twist in thier 308 target & vt rifles instead of the 1 in 10 twist we had to put up with .

Ruger have had a 1in9 223 in their VT's for years.

Oh I am light and I do have a sense of humour. That said when someone is deliberately shit stirring and mixes their facts up I like to point it out

[shotout]

Since i dont own my Ruger yet i cant be too biased for it. But i do know that it is not fair to compare a Factory Varmint rifle to a dedicated target rifle. I believe the whole point to this thread is on how well it performs in the feild not in a shooting comp!!

Anyone know if you can seat bullets out to the lands in the Ruger VT and still feed from the mag?? Especially the longer match bullets??

That would depend on the cartridge.

I couldn't seat into the lands with my 308. But it still shot groups less than 1in in size at 200m anytime I wanted it too. The current owner of the rifle is very happy with it, he shot his first ever 1 hole 5 shot group with the rifle. I may regret selling that rifle one day.
