Remington 700 Police LTR
Posted: Tue Jun 28, 2016 3:26 pm
This one is going to make saddler poop himself..... He's not going to happy.
I have a Remington 700P LTR. (Light Tactical Rifle). This is a lightweight version of the big 700 Police which was designed for the more urban environment. It has a 20" wide fluted barrel and a slimmed down HS Precision stock. The stocks themselves have become very popular amongst Remy shooters.
The only addition I have made to this rifle is a KRG bolt lift knob. Surprising how much difference this non-permanent upgrade makes. So the rifle is completely original. It has fired less than 400 rounds and as can be seen from the photos, is in excellent condition.
Included in the package is a Leupold Mk4 3.5-10x40 LR/T illuminated mil-dot scope. This is fitted using Leupold turn in rings and bases. The scope has Leupold Butler Creek flip up covers as well. It's in really nice condition, with perfect glass and working illumination. There is some small rubbing in the edge of the turrets, but nothing to write home about.
Now the "difference". When saddler worked for Edgar Brothers, he bought the test rifle that was brought in. At the time they only brought in one. He reckons there are now only a couple or three LTRs in the country in this caliber.....
6.8mm Remington SPC.
The 6.8mm was designed by US Special Forces for a caliber of greater "effect" than 5.56 NATO, but fired in the AR platform with all its attributes. Based on the .30 Remington case, with a 0.277" bullet was the outcome. (Ballistically very, very similar to the old .280 British round of the EM2 which the US discounted in the 50's!)
Simply put, this fits between the .223 and the .308. It will make deer legal energy levels and is just as much at home on the range with 115gn SMKs. It's a real nice round to use. Little recoil, more than tolerable blast and noise. Easy on the shoulder and using between 25 and 29 grains of powder, dependant, economical as well. I have had sub MOA groups at 200yds when everything comes together.
Ammo available if face to face, cases available otherwise.
This is a "proper" tactical bolt rifle....
Package as described £1275. Rifle on its own £795.
