[blacktailslayer]

Here is the new rifle that showed up in the mail today.

Remington 700P LTR in .223
Leupold 3.5-10x40 PR with the target turrets
Leupold R+B's
Butler Creek Flip ups.
Harris bipod

Best part is all for $1200!!!!

 

[Max Owner]

I have one on my wish list.

 

[blacktailslayer]

Ltr

If I see another I will let ya know. I can't wait to load up some 69 SMK's and try it out!!

 

[TangoKilo]

Wow!
Does it burn your hands when you pick it up?


That looks virtually identical to my LTR with the exception of the rings, bolt knob and the bipod.
Mine needed a skim bedding before it would shoot to its potential. Now groups 1/2 to 3/4 are the norm with H335 and 69Gr Matchkings.

You will be very happy with this rifle!

Are you saying that yours was stolen? I am confused.

 

[blacktailslayer]

Matchkings

Glad to hear they like the 69 SMK's. Have ya tried anything heavier for stabilizing??

 

[TangoKilo]

Nope, Mine is still in the safe!

I was simply suggesting that at the price he paid, the rifle and scope were a, " STEAL"

 

[MagnumPeanut]

Thought the same thing. That scope is worth the price of the entire package.

Almost anyways.

Was thinking that it was must be a knockoff at first. I got one of those. Looks legit until you actually look through it.

 

[blacktailslayer]

Leupold

Definitely not one of the knock offs, it's 100% Leupold. I was thrilled with the price too!!! I have been searching for a faster twist 223 for about 6 months, and this was the right deal.

 

[blacktailslayer]

Brothers.

Here are the LTR's big brothers. And I will say it before everyone else does, I like Rem 700's!!

 

[MagnumPeanut]

Is that a cougar an the wall?

 

[blacktailslayer]

Cougar

Yes that is a Tom cougar I have mounted. I think he is 7'4" nose to tail, shot Jan 95'.

 

[viper]

I love my LTR. Mine loves 69smk and 75grain bergers

 

[blacktailslayer]

69 SMK's and 75 Bergers

Mind sharing your load data for those two bullets?? Might help get me started.

 

[hermann78]

Did u get it on EE ?

 

[X-man]

I picked up a new LTR a few weeks back from a dealer. I paid $1200.00 plus GST for just the rifle alone & that didn't include shipping! You got the same rifle, plus a genuine Leupold PR scope, flip-ups and Harris Bi-Pod for $1200.00 all in! Smokin' deal, - the guy selling must've really been in a jam or he didn't know what he had! Either way, you got yourself a sweetheart of a deal! Definitely a deal to remember! Congrats!

 

[chemo]

just got a similar rifle, the XCR tactical long range, in 308WIN though and I've got one big problem.
I mean big, the scope is 45mm too high for a comfortable cheek weld and the cheek riser I've been looking at from brownells only ships to US locations. Currently looking to scrounge one.

Ltr

I am very happy with the fit and finish on this rifle. I have heard some guys having poor workmanship on some of them. Now I just need some time off and some handloads to go shoot!!

 

[surfer365]

A friend of mine fuked up the finish on my LTR, be very careful. He rested it on the yellow gun rest at the range, then tried to use bore cleaner to clean off the yellow paint. Dumb-ass

 

[blacktailslayer]

Ouch!

Bore cleaner and finishes are not a good combo!!
