I was target shooting with a friend today, the safety on his rifle self distructed right before my eyes. We were on the ground grazing like cattle looking for the pieces. The rifle? a new factory 700VS.

I know lots of guys like the 700's as I posted earlier most of em are just fine. They do tend to be accurate, a lot of serious shooters use them as the basis of custom rifles.
