Devildog, I found a picture of the Rem 700 VSF and that's a nice looking rifle. It looks like it's been discontinued though. I went looking on Remington's site and I don't see any blue fluted barrels anymore, only stainless and a black coated stainless on the XCR.
What can you tell me on Jewel triggers vs Timney? Looks like Jewel has a safety release on the bottom, but not sure which is superior. I would like a three position safety.
