i want to. will do alot of reserch and reading to figure out what can to use.
swr omega, aac ? etc.
for now i just gotta save the $$$ for the scope and rings/ bases.
looking at leupold mark 4 m1 with badger rings and base($$).

I have the 762 SD from AAC,havent shot it yet.

but a leupold could cost more than my set up alone + the tax stamp

but you get what you pay for, they are good quality scopes and its best to do it right the first time.

I've been happy with my 700p/leupold m4/badger combo. Found a load thats getting 3/8-1/2" groups when I do my part.

The can is an AWC spectrum 90, not the newest can but it was bought unused from Paranoia for cheap

http://www.snipercountry.com/Articles/R ... iggers.asp is a good article if you don't like the feel of your trigger. I set mine to about 1-1/2# and it works quite well.

I'd recomend you get some 600 grit sandpaper to break some edges on the feed lips to help feed from the internal mag when you have 5 rounds in it.

Let us know how you like the rifle.

I'll try to find an article I used to adjust my rem trigger, and I'd recomend you get some 600 grit sandpaper to break some edges to help feed from the internal mag when you have 5 rounds in it.

picked up my baby today.

i originally asked about the stainless ltr, called rem and they said it has not been made since 2000. so i tell my dealer "get me the regular ltr(we had talked about the stainless)"

so, i go to make final payment and pick up my new toy and whammo, he managed to get ahold of the stainless ltr for me.

so i ended up getting what i wanted. and im happy.

.5 moa from tha factory LTR?

Or is it a aftermarket barrel?

rockpup · Post by **rockpup** » Tue Dec 19, 2006 5:39 pm

arevalo: bone stock, only fiddled with the trigger and threaded the end of the barrel for a can. I shot a couple 1" groups at 200 yards this weekend, the larger groups were my fault.

I did go through several dozen loads to find the one the barrel liked though.

Edit: Mine is not an LTR, just the basic 700p with 26" barrel.

Just uploaded a pic from 200yards

my sony digi died but ill have some pics soon(love to share the goodness).

major diff from the "blued" ltr is that the stainless has 6 flutes instead of 3 big ones. no j lock. damn i love looking at it i cant wait to shoot it.

The 700LTRS is highly underrated.

My .308 DM is one of the most accurate precision rifles that I've shot right out of the box. I shoot Fed .308m.

ONE hole groups at 100m are the norm!

Danomite45 · Post by **Danomite45** » Sun Dec 24, 2006 5:09 am

I have a Rem LTR .308 on the way too. It should be here the firest week of Jan. NOw I have to decide what Leupold MK 4 to put on it.
decisions, decisions....

delta9mda · Post by **delta9mda** » Sun Dec 24, 2006 1:22 pm

i think(i know) im going mark 4 m1 3.5-10x40mm. it just looks so damn good and we know the quality of them.

rockpup · Post by **rockpup** » Sun Dec 24, 2006 4:29 pm

Saw an interesting post on snipershide, a guy from Leupold was mentioning they are coming out with a 'mark 2' line of tactical scopes. Not sure if it will be replacing the PR line, but they are priced a bit lower.

Midway USA has a few listed here.

I think they said they will have fewer options then the mark-4, which probably allows them to mass produce them for lower cost.

The 3-9x and 4-12x have 1/2 moa adjustment, the 6-18 has 1/4 moa adjustment.

Might be worthwhile to look at. Set a price your willing to spend, keep your eyes open, and when the time comes pick the best one for your usage that you can afford.

At the SHOT show in Orlando next year they will be introducing the Mark II will be a vx=II with turret knobs. It will be cheaper than the Mark IV, but I think I will pass. they will have a 1" tube, not a 30MM. I find the extra adjustment, and light transmission of the 30MM too valuable to give up.

If it does not have the 3 wide flutes in it it is NOT an LTR.

What you have sounds like a 700LV-SF (still a great gun). Got a pic yet??

delta9mda · Post by **delta9mda** » Thu Jan 04, 2007 7:14 pm
