The VTR is a nice versitile rifle and nice starter for younger shooters to grow into. I have it mounted on a Blackhawk stock with recoil reducing springs and adjustable length of pull. With the factory muzzle break this has a very manageable recoil for my 13 year old son. For an off the self factory rifle it has impressive accuracy. I shoot Hornaday SST 125 grain hunting for coyotes.
