I have a VS in .223, which is fine out to about 400 yds, but not too much beyond that. I just bought a VLS in .243, which is a little hotter than the .223, but still has negligible recoil. I have a friend who has a .308. Little bit more kick and more expensive bullets, more powder, etc.
If you have an allen wrench to take the action off of the stock, and small screwdriver, you can adjust the trigger yourself. For the price of a gunsmith's time, you can buy the necessary tools, including a trigger pull gauge. I use the RCBS Premium Trigger pull gauge.
If you decide to get the VS and want to adjust the trigger, just post here that you have the rifle and I'll get some instructions to you. There's also a link on varminthunters.com regarding adjusting the Rem. trigger,but the guy who wrote the instructions doesn't include setting the engagement (creep) screw. I always adjust overtravel, creep and pull weight. When you get the VS from Rem., it'll come with a trigger pull of around 6#, much too heavy for accurate shooting. You can adjust the factory trigger down to about 2#, and aftermarket triggers will go down to 2oz.
The last five-shot group that I shot with my VS and my el-cheapo Tasco WC TS 8-32X44mm scope was .246", center to center, at 100 yds, of course.
