R700 ltr-vtr???

[Roadwild17]

LGS has a Rem700 "LTR" threaded barrel stamped LTR tactical 1:10 twist. The tag says fluted but its more like a VTR triangular shaped barrel. It also has the VRT styled crap stock with the rubber inlay. The stock is not free float, a dollar can't go down more than a quarter inch. Thinking I should just stick to the ACC-SD being they are both the same price. Im guessing this is one of those spare parts rifle big green is throwing together, anyone have any info or seen one like this?

I believe i know what you are talking about, my friend has one. Remington ran a line that had a LTR barrel but had one of those crappy stocks on it like the ones on the varmint rifles.

Pics if you can, yes Remington did release a LTR Varmint combo a few years ago. An LTR in a crappy varmint stock. You could buy this rifle for $500, put an LTR take off for $150 and be $350 under list.

Now the VTR profile is different, can only speculate that the 1:10 bbl's were fluted wrong and then profiled to salvage the barrels? As for the free float, the varmint stock has a pressure pad at the fore end. It is there to help with the longer 26" barrels; does it help? Maybe, some cheap barrels need forend pressure, some like to be free floated.
