WTB: Remington 700P LTR or SPS Tactical

[TheArmedFarmer]

Hi CHL friends. I haven't posted in a long time but I think about many of you frequently.

I need a better gun for shooting hogs on my place. I've done a lot of research and convinced myself that I need one of these two aforementioned rifles in .308. Anyone have one they want to sell or trade? I'd also appreciate any advice on purchasing a rifle such as this - where would one go to get it? Is this a common rifle that's available at just any place like Wal-Mart? The 700P LTR seems like it's targeted to the LEO market so I doubt I can just walk into Academy and buy one.

The SPS tactical will typically provide a threaded bbl for attaching a suppressor which should come in handy for your application. AAC makes a flash hider that will thread onto the bbl and provides a "quick disconnect" type attachment for an AAC suppressor so that you do not have to carry the longer assembly through the brush.

Thanks both of you for your responses. I appreciate them.

I know it's not the model you're asking about, but I saw this on a friends FB page and thought it was too cool not to share with you guys since I saw this thread.

Ever wanted to try hunting hogs with silencers? Well, Keith Warren went hog hunting with a silenced Savage Model 10.

Keith Warren got his Savage Model 10 (chambered in .308 Winchester) modified to have a custom-made, full-length suppressor integrated into the barrel. According to him, the gunsmith did such a good job that the suppressor did not adversely affect the accuracy of his rifle.

While not one of the models listed, I do have a Remington 700 VTR in .308. Currently it is sitting in a Bell & Carlson A5 Tactical Medalist stock with a Timney trigger, LaRue base, and Seekins 30mm rings. Also has a Harris Bi-pod.

I could be convinced to part with it for the right price. Otherwise I could return it to stock configuration and sell - I have the green and black stock still around I do believe. I was planning on getting it all re-done in a different caliber anyhow, may as well start with a fresh rifle instead.

Is the VTR the one with that triangular section barrel? How does it shoot?

Yes, triangular barrel. It supposedly creates more surface area to reduce heat issues, but I bought it because it was a short barrel .308 at the right price. it shoots as well as any other barrel I've shot from Remington. I had owned an SPS Tactical before, longer barrel, it shoots as well as that did. My VTR has a 20" bbl with a 2" integral brake. I only have a few hundred rounds through it, all good ammo. Mostly Black Hills 175gr match.

Here is the stock it is in, black with gray web color: https://www.stockysstocks.com/bell-carl ... -2097.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; The gray is far more subdued than how it looks online.

'preciate the responses. I have a soft commitment to get a 700 LTR from a fellow down south of Houston, it's just a matter of finding the logistics to get down there. I rarely head down there and can't justify the drive just to buy a rifle.
