Model 700 Light Tactical Rifle (LTR)
The foundation of the 700 action is its unique bolt design. The
bolt face, barrel, and receiver surround and support the
cartridge head with three overlapping rings of solid steel. The
Model 700 receiver is machined from a solid block of
ordnance-grade steel, then drilled and tapped for scope mounts.
The Model 700P LTR features a fluted 20" barrel and is 1 1/2
lbs. lighter than the standard 26" version. In the .223
Remington chambering, twist has been changed from 1 in 12" to 1
in 9" in order to maximize the ballistic stability of heavier
bullets. All Model 700 LTR’s are equipped with hinged floor
plates.
