I am considering purchasing a Remington 700 LTR as a dual purpose rifle. I like the idea of a precision rifle with a heavy barrel for target practice and general shooting. But, I also want a rifle I could hunt deer and wild boar with. It seems like this rifle could fill both rolls. It is short and weighs 7.5 lbs, similar to a Winchester 70 classic.
Is this a good idea?
If it is, I am debating which scope to put on it? I am considering a simple duplex reticle with a 200 yd zero. Or, I could spend more and get a mil dot system. It seems like the mildot would be great for longer range target shooting.
If you bought a gun like this for dual purpose, what scope would you put on it?
Thanks.
