It will definitely be worth it in the long run, as Rem has a bad habit of NOT making good selling rifles for long periods of time.
The LTR's, will probably NEVER depreciate in value, if Rem stops producing them.

After a 2 to 3 year lay off on the VS models, and the ATTEMPTED force feeding of the Laminated blue jobs...didn't work, they have reluctantly started to produce some VS models again.........
