Re: Remington 700 LTR vs 700 SPS Tactical?
I have a SPS Tac AAC-SD and it is shooting consistent sub .5 MOA. Mostly in the .3's. If you want your rifle to be a one hole shooter, this is what i have done and highly suggest:
Timney 510 trigger: It is a wide trigger, but it breaks clean at about 2 lbs with no play. Much better than the Mark X-Pro IMPO. It took me 5 min to install and i was amazed at the difference.
McRee Precision Modular Stock: This is a "buy once, cry once" investment. But I assure you that it is the last stock that you will EVER have to buy as long as your shooting a Rem 700 SA. You can customize the entire stock to your exact needs.
Leupold MK4 Tactical Scope: I do a lot of range est. using the mil dots, so i decide to pay a little more and get a FFP scope. I am a huge fan of Leupold's TMR (Tactical Milling Reticle). There is a small opening right where the cross hairs meet so that you don't obscure your target when shooting. Just put what you want to shoot at inside the small gap and send your round.
Badger Ordinance Scope Rings and 20 MOA Scope base: You get what you pay for when it comes to buying Badger Ordinance products. I use them on my rifle in the Corps and as much as that thing gets knocked around, they have proven themselves to be more than enough.
KRG Bolt Knob: I wasn't sure how i would like an enlarged bolt knob since i had never shot with one before, so before spending too much money and ending up with something i didn't like, i decided to go with this product. I'm sticking with it due to how durable it is and how little it costs ($28). There are some great reviews on it done by 8541 Tactical.
Harris Bi-pods: You cant really go wrong with these. I've used them for the past 6-8 years and I've never had a problem with them.
Last but not least, invest in a torque driver. I bought one from Weaver and i really like it. You can use it on everything from your action screws in your stock to your scope ring screws. It is amazing how a accurately torqued weapon preforms compared to one that "feels about right" when you tighten it by hand.
Like I've said, These are the upgrades that I've done to my rifle. I couldn't be happier with the outcome. Before i preformed all the upgrades, i was shooting roughly .75-1MOA groups. These upgrades have nearly doubled the accuracy that i can get out of this weapon system. I preformed all of these upgrades by myself in a relatively short amount of time.
Hope this helps you and if you have any more questions I'd be more than happy to help you out.
