Uses of the 700 LTR

The Remington 700 LTR has found a niche as a police issue weapon due to its small barrel size. The small size of the weapon makes it ideal for tactical situations in close quarters, such as houses and trailers. The rifle is also popular among hunters and competitive shooters who prefer a "military" or "police issue" look to their weapons. The Remington 700 LTR is also used in military units that routinely operate in confined spaces.

Pros of the 700 LTR
-
The Remington 700 LTR is lightweight, accurate and relatively small. The butt of the rifle is over 13 inches long, whereas most compact rifles have a shorter butt. The longer butt makes firing the rifle a little more comfortable. It is also customizable, and it has an advanced accessory package available for the more demanding user. Also, the safety is located at the back of the weapon and is easily operated by the thumb, so you don't have to break your firing grip in order to put the rifle into firing mode.
Cons of the 700 LTR
-
Because it is a relatively small rifle, the 700 LTR is not suitable for long-range firing. It is also considered a beginner's rifle, so it is possible that it won't meet the demands of an experienced user.
