LTR is a nice rifle
I just went to the range this weekend with mine for the first time and it was sweet! I choose it for its scout/sniper attributes in a package that can actually be carried in the field without undue strain on my part. It will make a great hunting gun as well as a tactical gun.
I shot federal 168grn match rounds with good results. One sub moa 5 shot group and a few over as I am still polishing up my rifle markmanship abillities. Recoil was not a problem for me and I have had problems with rifle recoil in other guns like 7mag
. (a great round but I developed some bad habits with it)
my package is
700 LTR with Leupold VariXIII 3.5-10X40 Mildot Tactical M1 1" mounts and rings, Harris Bipod.
Professional mount job with ring lapping and trigger job to 2.5lbs

Thanks for the info so far...
I also saw a pseudo-scout angle here...are there holes in the barrel, in addition to the receiver bridges? I'm wondering about mounting a 1.5-4x or so scope forward of the front ring.
What's the magazine capacity of the .308 version? The Remington site doesn't give a mag capacity!

The LTR has a five round magazine (non-detachable). The rifle is way heavy for a scout, 7.5 pounds out of the box. Add rings, base, scope, sling, and bipod and you're over 9 pounds. There are no provisions for a forward mount, and the third swivel lug is positioned up forward, not in front of the trigger guard, as for a Ching sling. It's a great great rifle, but it is in no way a scout.

How much should a scout rifle weight? Do you need a light-barrel to make it a scout? I have been thinking of finding a tactical .308 rifle, when I get some money. How many $$$ did you guys pay for the LTR? 
Jeff Cooper says that a scout rifle should weigh no more than 3 kilos (6.6 pounds), including everything but ammo. I think he would say that the weight is more of a defining feature of a scout rifle than the intermediate eye relief scope. The emphasis in his rifle classes is on the snap shot, which he trains students for by having them shoot clay pigeons in flight at 25 to 50 yards.
