  • I really like the idea of the dot scope on the first rifle. Great video. Thank you, sir.

  • Is this rifle even available to the general public? If so, what's the asking price?

  • Who did your skull finish? and what is standard price of the 700 LTR?

  • Would somone tell me about thunder ranch and what it is? I found it by doing reaseach after seeing the thunder ranch "Rock Rifle". I am particularly interested in hearing about what the courses are like.If possible please tell me the some of the history of thier guns and weather you are satified with them. Lastly please tell me about the long range shooting course.I could'nt possibly justify the a need for the course but when i get older i would like to take the medium and long range shooting.TY

  • Hey look its Peter Weller

  • @l1onheart617

    lol you said it brother, i cant stand when videogamers think they know what they are talking about. they flood into the fourms

  • When he say "They are too heavy" i'm like Hell yeah~ that right!

  • I like it, a 900-1000 m shot would be a breeze with this rifle I'm sure. The bolt swing could be a little lower though, Id probably end up hitting the scope every time I chamber a new round lol

  • @zackorourke The M40 series uses a short action and the M24 series uses a long action. M40s are worked by Marines at Quantico while M24s come straight from Remington.

    Get your facts straight before you go talking about someone else who doesn't know their stuff.

  • @zackorourke

    Dude, you should play call of duty less and pull your head out.

    The M40A1-A5 are Short action 700's , and the M24 is the Long action.

    M24 is used as delivered from Remington, the M40 is built by armorers in Quantico, Va

  • @speedfreak247 Sweet dude way to reply to my comment from over a year ago.... Honestly haha all you guys arguing over it are fucking armchair warriors. I'm glad your so knowledgeable sorry I was wrong, maybe you should spend less time looking through comments and more time being productive with your life. All that matters is I know a .308 ballistic chart from a 20" barrel and MOA and Mil calculations by heart.

  • @speedfreak247 Hey mate I know you done this post ages ago, but can you please tell me the difference between long action and short. I cant get my head around it, to me the action has to be as long as the cartridge somming out of it

  • @TheKimberRifleBloke .30-06, .270, .25-06 are long action .308, .243, .223 are short action

  • @KnivesAndFireArmsUK Thanks fro clearing that up the way some ppl say it it sounds as though theres a long and short action for the same cartridge i.e. a long action .308 and a short action .308

  • @TheKimberRifleBloke yeah no problem, you thinking about getting a remington 700 then? im looking for a PSS

  • @KnivesAndFireArmsUK Nah Im happy with my Kimbers but a friend of mine has the 700 police and he loves it. Mind you Im hearing alot of negative reviews on the 770 alot of guys saying the 700 is deffinately the way to go with Rem

  • @speedfreak247 but there both .308 arnt they

  • @MrDip02 7.62x51mm, slightly shorter than a .308, same bullet though. M24s can be converted to use longer cartridges though as they use the long action. They were designed to shoot .30-06 but after NATO adopted the 7.62x51 they decided not to switch the action. As a result there are some M24s today that have been converted to fire the .338 Lapua magnum and .300 Winchester magnum. The M24 has been discontinued and is being replaced with the XM2010/M24E1 system.

  • @zackorourke The m40 is a short action, the m24 is a long action. Believe it. 'Nuff said.

  • @zackorourke

    Too bad the M40 series is built on the 700 short action. The M24 series is built on the Remington long action.

  • @zackorourke Wrong sir, the M40 is a short action, It is the M24 that uses the long action, because it was originally going to be a 30-06, or rumor has it, but they used .308 instead.

  • @TEHLEGITGUY Its actually a long action so it can simply be changed to .300 winchester magnum.

  • @PointRecce Wrong, sorry dude, I stated it was designed for 30-06, the M24 can be a .300 Win mag, an M40 cannot.

  • Can you quick scope with that rifle?

  • youtube.com/watch?v=zFGYsCkQ7J­A BOOHHAUER!

    Run both videos with two windows and you will laguh your ass off.

  • Oh yeah, well my dog can beat up your dog!!! - LOL

  • All other things being equal--a long barrel is more accurate than a short barrel. That's not a myth, it's fact.

  • @happy543210 Search youtube for 15qj032UJ1I , and see if you still think that after watching that video. Its a myth. You only get more velocity from a longer barrel, a short barrel is definitely more accurate, in the same contour as the long barrel.

  • @BDBK666

    Sorry buddy, but you said it yourself--a longer barrel means more velocity.

    But, it also means more projectile spin. More velocity means less bullet drop (due to gravity) and more spin means less windage .

  • @happy543210 Rofl. Do some research please, and you will know. Velocity doesn't necessarily mean more accuracy. As you said, it just means less drop. It also has nothing to do with the spin, what so ever (lol). There is plenty of tests people have done that take a 24" rifle and cut it to 16" in 2" increments and  test each one, and there is no accuracy loss at all, only about 350fps on 300 win mag. So it goes down to 30.06 velocity, While still shooting sub 1/2 moa accuracy to 1100 yards.

  • @BDBK666

    Dude, a spinning projectile will have a straighter trajectory--that's one of the principles of ballistics. Hell, that's the reason for rifling a barrel in the first place.

    Go back to school.

  • @happy543210 Wow. You're amazing. So you are telling me, that my 1911 .45 pistol that has a 1:12" twist 5" barrel, and my .308 with 1:12 twist 24" barrel are going to spin the bullets at different speeds? Please oh great one, explain that feat of physics to me.  Every barrel is rifled. 1:12" means it spins the bullet one rotation in every 12" of distance traveled, weather the barrel is 2" or 32". I will say again- DO SOME RESEARCH. search "is a long barrel more accurate then a short one"

  • @BDBK666

    You're wrong again, sir: 1 in 12" twist means that the groves inside the barrel make a complete circle (360 degrees) in 12 inches. The more time a bullet spends inside a rifle, the more spin is gonna be imparted on the bullet as it travels through the grooves.

  • @happy543210 Haha. Cool story bro. So you think the bullet isn't going to spin at the same rate as the rifling? Really? Thats awesome. What do you think its doing just deforming straight through the bore until the rifling grabs it or what??? Go read a book. Or better yet go cut a rifle and re crown it and find out for yourself instead of just assuming, and pulling shit out of your ass.

  • @happy543210 I'm not sure it is going to have more spin because the barrel is longer, all things considered, if it is 1:12 then it is 1:12. A longer barrel is going to allow more time for the pressure to increase thus creating more bullet speed thus increasing the range. Some schools of thought believe that a 20" barrel is optimal for a .308 accuracy but results in a slightly slower bullet. 1000 yards for a LTR is completely doable. Just have to punch in the dope on the scope.

  • @BDBK666

    By the way, if I do a search on, "is a long barrel more accurate than a short one?", all I'm gonna get is the ignorant opinion of a bunch of high-school dropouts, who after joining the Marine Corps and taking a 3-5 day course on firearms, think they know everything there is to know about the science of ballistics.

  • @happy543210 Ya keep assuming everything through your whole life, and you will never learn anything. Search "What Makes a Rifle Barrel Accurate" and the first one in google will be an article by Dan Lilja, maker of some of the best barrels in the world (far from a dropout). Read that, and the other barrel making article on Rigidity of bench-rest barrels, and you will learn a lot. There are also a lot more articles you could probably learn from. Happy reading.

  • @happy543210 On the other hand if you were to take a .308 and cut it to 16" You wouldn't have enough velocity to stay supersonic to 1000 yards, which would obviously mean less LONG RANGE accuracy. It will still shoot fine as long as the bullet can stay supersonic. These days most high end rifles can shoot sub 3/8 moa accuracy weather they have a 26" or 18" barrel. Hell most are guaranteed to.

  • @happy543210 Also, the only reason people think that is with a longer barrel, with open sights, you get a longer sight radius, which can be much more accurate to a point. None of that matters with a scope.

  • If I needed a small, light & compact rifle, I would prefer a model 7 with a 1-4 power zoom. Can't get any lighter than that.

  • this guy is a bad ass!

  • The first (black) Remington LTR looks like an excelent scouting rifle. This kind of optic gives you the oppotunity to put on sight really fast.

  • wish it came in .243

    

  • @NiceHeadMr you can build a pretty nice one from a stevens 200 for a whole lot less.

  • this dude is cool

  • would the "patrol rifle" set-up with the aimpoint be a .223 LTR or .308 version? i like the idea of the short-midrange bolt gun, but wouldnt the .308 be out of place in that role? and then, utilizing the .223 round, would the LTR bolt gun be similar to a semi-auto ar-15/etc .223 weapon, ballistically at least?

  • @De908 why choose 223 when you can have 308? The purpose of a rifle like this is making few and well aimed shots. You might as well go for the extra power and penetration of .308. A 20" barrel semi or full auto rifle in .223 should have similar ballistics to the 20" LTR in .223.

  • the airsoft gun im gettin looks exactly like this gun so duzz the 22 i have.

  • R700 with ACOG haha

  • that stock looks good, what is it?

  • Bigger Knob.

    lmao

    Nice rifles :)

  • what caliber is it? function good, or bad? MOA groups? weight?

    I don't like the trend of weapons being built with cops in mind. I support law enforcement(at this time) .  But one day , regular gun owners will be classified as criminals.

  • ACOG?

  • Should put a 4x ACOG on it.

  • I have a question about fixed power scopes. I see real military rifles being fitted with something like a 10x fixed power scope. How much range would one of those give you? Shooting with a 308 for example? Could you still pick off targets at 800-1000 yards with this smaller magnification? Thanks

  • @lobzdik that the military uses it doesnt mean its good. with a 10x u might be able to hit a person at 800 yds but its gonna b very unconfortable. and also, i hope u wont be shooting ppl, and u wouldnt be able to c a steel or paper at 800 yds with 10x. ive also heard that now theyre switching to variable power scopes. if ur gonna be shooting past 300 u might as well buy a variable scope with a bunch of power.

  • @Mike11069 uhuh yeah i was coming to a conclusion that a variable would be suited much better, an no, i wont be shooting people

  • can you make the barrels shorter? like cut it with a saw?

  • ok?

  • Could you envision a smith'ed :-) mauser or enfield design light tactical rifle. I'm a big fan of early century rifles for their speed and accuracy. Most of them pack a decent caliber and are quick handling, what do you think? How difficult would it be to fix a rail to their thick receivers or convert the floors over to accept a detachable mag? Thanks for the web blast.

  • God it's a good review, also funny !!!

  • haha ??? 2:23

  • Comment removed

  • Jnarte, Clint speaks fast because he is a Yankee from Northern Indiana.

    We talk that way, so sue us. :-)

  • anyone know what scope that is ???

  • Clint speaks fast because there's a lot of info he wants to put out in a limited amount of time! Never seen Clint drink a Red Bull...

  • Figue, when you send it off have the gunsmith convert the enclosed magazine to M14 magazines.

    Note Clint's oversized mag release too. Very clever.

  • where can i get those mags????

  • It would have been nice for you to tell us a little detail about the LTR, like what caliber it is. And why that caliber is best for the situation you are describing.

  • I'll take the SAKO Finnlite any day over the Remington and make mine 7-08 :-)

  • he talks fast as shit

  • I love Remingtons always have but there Barrels are junk!

    The actions are fantastic you can make great tactical and long range target rifles.

    every Remington I have ever owned I removed the Barrels and sent them to GA Precision, or Williams gunsight in Davison Michigan.

  • its different on the 710 the barrel is great but the action is sticky.

  • @keefer2111 Don't forget American Precision Arms!

  • Why is he so upset about longer barrels at around 1:38?

  • motogpracer87, He's not necessarily upset about longer barrels, he notes that many people use larger, heavier, and longer rifles for short range purposes (within 100 yards). So he deems the high upgrades ultimately useless when all you need (according to his standards) for short-range shots are rifles with shorter barrels and smaller scopes (he calls them 'glasses') such as the first rifle he was holding.

    Hope this helped. :)

  • I SO want this one! But i cant afford it. I`ve been thinking of buying a SPS Tactical, cause its cheaper, Do you guys think that is smart?

  • hell yeah i got the sps in .308 and i super love it . it feels great in your hands the stock is very comfy all u gotta dois add a scope and bipod and u havethe best rifle ever

  • haha okay! Thank you I will buy it as soon as possible! :D

  • @Gonamez

    I can't afford it but I'm making a few sacrifices for the little extra it costs on top of the SPS - I just want that aluminium bedding and shorter, fluted barrel. Worth it I think. P.s cant afford it yet because Im putting a Nightforce NXS 3.5-15x56mm on it !

  • @tfre3927 ah, good luck man! And it sounds sweet with the NXS on it!

  • Comment removed

  • great video, I agree with your concept on barrel length and weight, quality of the glass is much more important.

  • how much does it cost?

  • Nice vid! Sorry, quick question.. What's the deal with firearm laws in Alberta Canada? I've heard you don't need a lisence for hunting/recreational guns, especially .22's. Is that true?

  • how much do remington LTR's go far?

  • I would want to be around this guy if civil war breaks out, talking about headshots, this guy seems ruthless.

  • were can u get a bigger knob for the bolt, i have bin lookin every were

  • badger ordanance and brownells.

  • Unfortunately, if you want a different bolt knob, you'll either have to cut off your old knob and thread the stump, weld on a new threaded handle, or replace the bolt and reheadspace.

  • Midway usa sells a pretty nice bolt knob from badger ordnance. All you need to do is find a reasonable gunsmith to do it or take on the task of doing it yourself.

  • a longer barell doesnt mean more accuracy? well if thats true i can hold and fire a 88mm in my hand

  • It really doesn't. In fact, shorter barrels (to a point, of course) aid in accuracy by limiting the effects barrel vibration on the projectile. With the .308 from a 20" barrel you will lose some velocity however. That will be detrimental to accuray at very long range as keeping the bullet supersonic to the target will be difficult.

  • interesting... but length and barrel weight are a factor to accuracy... as are many other things... he prob shoulden't have said that

  • can this guy fire a 6.5 lapua round??

  • very cool rifle, but mr. smith needs to lay off the coffee a little. he makes me nervous :)

  • not everything needs a tacticool picitinny rail..

  • ahaha lol good vid! =)

  • haha i was sooo bout 2 go right off at that kid but u beat me 2 it by 2 months:P

  • haha

  • and if you knew ANYTHING, you would know that a m40a3 is pretty much an upgraded 700...dumbass...

  • and also the model 70 winchester and model 700 remington are two seperate weapons

  • how are they different the remington 700 is superior no?

  • that crazy men make me laugh

  • Loser.

  • Love that GAP, but I would take my TRG anyday over that remington heavy or not!

  • did he say glass for scope? anyway, i like the second one, the camo one, looks amazing. haha, big knob for his arthuritis, not laughing that he has arthuritis, but a nice touch

  • does any one know if you can convert a model 70 into a 5 or 10 magazine rather than the typical bling magazine

  • i like this guy;i think he is married whit guns! just joke, he is good!

  • he talks fast.

  • @emano94 right :) i'm german, my englis is good, but that's 2fast

  • @emano94 yup meth'll do that to ya

  • @emano94 lmfao he does n its even more funnier when ur stoned.

  • @420JohnnieBoi

    holy crap

    i posted this comment a yr ago

    yeeeah hahaha

  • Clint's great at giving firearms tips.

  • Thank you....nkay....LOL

  • nkay

  • where did you get the enlrged bolt knob

  • it's a Badger Ordnance available a MidwayUSA and a handful of other places.

  • Wonder how tight grouping is at 100 yards for .308? What type of ammo and weight?

  • You guys this is Clint Smith. He's not an auctioneer. He's one of the best firearm instructor out there these days ......he's also got a very good lookin' wife & she can shoot very well. And she is also an firearms instructor!

  • I looked up the LTR, and it's only mentioned on the Remington LE website, anyone have an idea why?

  • Because is made for LE only, in some places you can get them, but Remington will not sell them directly to civilians

  • Is this guy an auctioneer? Talks faster than that fed ex guy on the commercials.

  • Haha, nice stock. Barely noticed it until he pointed it out.

  • bit fast but great vid!

  • wonderful video as always clint.
