700 SPS vs 700 LTR?

[markm]

The AAC version might be. I'm going off of Rem's website. It says the plain old SPS is a 1/12 hammer forged bbl.

I don't really care since it shoots everything pretty well.

I have the AAC version and it's 1/10. The SPS Tactical (20" bbl with 1/12) was about $70 cheaper for what I could find locally.

I didn't know about the AAC version when I bought mine. I guess I'd still have got the gun I did. It takes Holder's ATF too long to approve a Form 4... I'd need a new barrel by the time those **** monkies approved my form anyway.

That ain't no shit. I've got two suppressors going on 5 months right now.

Pappabears waiting on some too. You'd think that they have some extra help now that they aren't running guns to the cartels.

Those crooked ****s will do anything to be a pain in the ass for gun owners in this country. Their budget has been increased exponentially since obummer got elected, yet the delays have also increased exponentially.

Such horse shit.

If you get the threaded barrel, you might consider getting a AAC brakeout, even if you have no plans on getting the can. It does really take the bite out of the light kickin 308. 308 isnt bad, but it reduces it and after 50 rounds and reductionin kick is always nice.

I was looking at the AAC breakout, and the PWS FSC30 to put on it. I think the PWS might get the nod, unless I decide to drop papaerwork on a suppressor.

I'm surprised that nobody mention the difference in twist. The LTR has 1 in 12" and the SPS Tac has the 1 in 10" twist.

What affect will the difference in twist have on bullet weight preference, and or accuracy?

The 1/10 will stabilize heavier bullets on longer distance compared to 1/12.

I think I am going to do a "covert" type rendition. Have the barrel cut pretty short 16-17" and put it into an AI folding stock. That will make a very compact package. I don't see using it past 500 yds so the barrel length loss should not diminish performance much at that range.

Shot this 3 shot group at 500 yards today with my stock Rem 700 barrel and 178 AMAX bullets.

Bullet impact by the Red paint is Pappabear's Babe Ruth shot. He called the red dot and just about got it at 500.
