Without considering the weight, what would be your choice for a 243 rifle between Tikka's Laminated Stainless and Remington's VLS ?

I like both guns but still have to hear some comments about them to make my mind on which one.

Thanks

Both very accurate good guns..take your pick ..I'm really not sure a Remington VArmint rifle can really be surpassed.

Oldelkhunter is right about remington varmint guns

I would go for the tikka there realy nice looking (as long as its the laminate) and functioning guns. heres a problem witha remingtons they got a realy nasty looking bore. well the one in the video dose anyways. go to the site and check it out.

I would go with the Remington.
I have one in the 22-250, Super accurate straight out of the box.

It SURE DOES MESS UP A PRARIE DOGS DAY!!!!!!!

Just because the guy at Lilja says so I guess. I guess if you use their barrel you'll get one hole groups.

Of the two I would have to take a Remington. Don't like Tikkas at all.

I have to agree with the majority of the others. A freind bought a Tikka and it had quite a bit of plastic that I didn't care for. I like the Remingtons better.

definately a remington. I have one in 22-250 and 243win and their extremely accurate. I dont care for tikkas. If you notice on the poll(which gun)remington got the most votes

I've looked closely at current production Remingtons and won't buy them. Sorry. Breaks my heart. I have had several in past years. I picked up a 10 year old Remington last weekend... what a difference. The local manager at Scheel's isn't recommending current Remingtons. Actually, he had worse things to say but I will skip that here. I had a Remington in 222 that was superb. Should have kept it. Handloaded for it, accurate, cheap to shoot and low report. Anyway, if you have a chance to handle both, you make the call. I am a wood & steel man myself, and I am not a fan of synthetic anything, but Tikkas moving locally sell and shoot really well. I did see the Lilja barrel video.... but other forums are reporting Remington barrel problems, too.
