DOC, after reading your post I whipped out my trusty Gun List in hopes of finding you one there......to no avail. 
However they are often offered there for sale. You can check back with each new issue on line by going to www.collectit.net assuming you do not subscribe.

DOC,
I was looking for the same rifle about 2-1/2 months ago, a Remington Model 700 VS SF, w/stainless steel, heavy fluted barrel in .308Win, to be a range complement to my SS M1A.
Here is what I found: Remington discontinued the whole VS SF (Varmint Synthetic, Stainless Fluted barrel) line a year or so ago and only returned a few models to their lineup this year after supposedly receiving significant interest among the varmint hunters. Unfortunately, the .308Win model was not re-offered this year along with the varmint calibers (.220 Swift, .22-250, and .223).
So, I posted on the Auction Arms "Wish List" a WTB for the Rem700 VS SF in .308Win and to my surprise was contacted within a few days by a guy who had one nearly NIB to sell. He offered it for $625, which I assume is nearer the old list price versus the new list price, $916. I bought it immediately and am in the process of outfitting it with Leupold's 4.5-14x50 Long Range Tactical scope, just waiting for the LR base and rings. I'm hoping it'll be ready for break-in and sighting-in at the range next week.
So, my experience is they are out there. Good luck finding yours.
