i need help here.  i want one of these rifles.  which one? i will shoot at the most probably at about 500 meters, maybe a tad more, most of the time less.  so which one?  how accurate is the fluted barrel of the LTR?  i dont want detachable mags, can you get that in the LTR?

thanks

For 500m or less, I'd say that there will be little to no difference in accuracy between the two.  The LTR definitely weighs less, which is a big plus.  Also, I don't think detachable mags are being manufactured anymore in either model due to feeding problems.

Look back a few weeks we hashed this out for Busmaster007.

Robar can adapt your hinged floorplate to accept M14 mags.  For $700+

SkaerE- You can always have the barrel cut down to whantever length you want on the 26".  I guess see what stock feels good in the different positions you want to shoot the rifle in.  I don't think you could go wrong with either....just personal preferences.

Thanks, y'all.

It's depend on what you want to do with that rifle.....If you have to carry it all day long i.e. hunting then the LTR is for you.  I bought one for that reason....light and accurate.

Here are a few link for you:

Had a 700 VSSF in .308. Loved it, but sold it to take a chance on the shorter, lighter LTR. Shot a 3/4" group at 300 yds last week with the LTR with handloads. I think it's a keeper.

Hello,
I have a LTR 308 D.M. i have had no trouble at all out of the detachable mag and i really prefer it also , its a fine rifle the factory trigger is set to high, so you need a trigger job . recoil isnt bad at all , the rifle aims very well offhand . my rifle shoots  under a half inch at 100.
here is 2 pics the first one is with the factory stock the rifle weighed 11 lbs. loaded. the second pic i turned the rifle into a HTR it weighs in at 17lbs loaded.
but have a Pss in the works so i will return the rifle back into the LTR package.

I own a Remington 700 PSS w/ Detachable Mag.  Its a nice piece but for same amount of cash, you can buy a rifle that is better in accuracy.  Fulton Armory sells the bolt action sniper rifle.  I've read articles on several gun magazines and it shoots awesome.  Gun Test was one of them.
