I'm rebarrelling my .308 VTR this week.
She is getting a 1/10 Twist Truflite barrel from New Zealand.

Photos to follow when she gets done.

I should have it back next Wednesday all things going well.
I'm hoping the 1/10 will improve accuracy and allow me to use heavier loads if I go on Holidays to Eastern Europe for Wild Boar Hunting.

I'm very excited about it as the Truflite Barrel sings on my VSSF II I'm hoping my VTR will Sing also.

If I could only get more time to enjoy it, deer season is Females only this time of year here.
All stags/bucks are safe for a while.

I need to get more ammo, I want to try 150 grain to see how they fly too.
I got 2750 average speed with 165 grain Nolser heads, would like to see if I can push that a little more too.
