David, I have an LVSF in 223 and I love it. It is more accurate than my Remington LTR in 223. My complaint is that for not having a floor plate, nor a HS bedding stock it is a bit overpriced. I call it my PA, Platnium ADL. I also don't like the kick ease type pad, it serves no purpose on a 223 and makes the stock a bit to long. You wanted a report and that covers it. Even with my gripping don't forget this sucker shoots!!! Jim

Thank you for the post! It seems to me that the LVSF platform with the overkill of a recoil pad would make a great light weight med cal rifle. If it were chambered in 7mmWSM, 300WSM, or similar it would be an GREAT deer gun. What do you think?
Anyway, is it worth the price in its current configuration? If you had to do it again would you go with something different? BTW, I intend to buy a 22-250 or 204 for coyote, and prefer a light, easy to manage platform.
Koos, I have the .223 and it is a great shooter. 5 shot groups always under 1". It needed a trigger job, but otherwise original. Stock is nice, rigid, good design, pillar bedded. You are right, I have checked the catalog 3 times to see if it is avail in a 308 etc. Dan Farr

David, I have a Model 7 stainless, LTR, and the LVSF. The LVSF is the pick of the litter. Mine also shoots .5 and always under an 1". If you want one go for it, they shoot. Jim
