This post about the Remington 700 VTR’s triangular barrel was an interesting read. I’ve been interested in that rifle, mostly because of the barrel — was it just a marketing gimmick or was there legit engineering behind it. Looks legit. I’d love to try out this rifle sometime.

Updated (June ’09): I was at Cabela’s and they had VTR’s without the muzzle brake. A little research turns up that this is a special run made exclusively for Cabela’s. Take it for whatever it’s worth.
