Randy,
In the real world, little to none except for the obvious details. A slightly different stock or a shorter/longer barrel. Basically a Remington with a heavy barrel and bigger price tag to capitalize on the "Tactical/Sniper" concept. Here is some other reading:
Remington 700P Facts
The heart of Remington law enforcement rifles is the legendary Model 700 action. This is the same action that is at the core of the advanced M-24 Sniper Weapon System we built for the U.S. Army. It's also what makes our hand built Model 40-XB rifles so accurate and rock-solid dependable.
The foundation of the Model 700 action is its unique bolt design. The bolt face, barrel, and receiver surround and support the cartridge head with three overlapping rings of solid steel. The Model 700 receiver is machined from a solid block of ordnance-grade steel, then drilled and tapped for scope mounts. All of our standard Model 700 Police rifles have heavy, free-floating 26" barrels crowned at the muzzle for unparalleled accuracy and stability. The Model 700P LTR features a fluted 20" barrel and is 1 1/2lbs. lighter than the standard 26" version. In the .223 Remington chambering, the twist has been changed from 1 in 12" to 1 in 9" in order to maximize the ballistic stability of heavier bullets. Model 700s chambered for the .223 Remington have five-shot capacities and hinged floor plates
Both the standard Model 700P and the Tactical Weapon System feature composite stocks reinforced with Dupont Kevlar and fiberglass. They'll stay dimensionally stable in any weather and under the worst tactical situations. The stock is laid up around an aircraft-grade aluminum bedding block that runs the full length of the receiver. It has a textured, black, non-reflective finish and comes with sling swivel studs.
The TWS package includes a Leupold Vari-X III (3.5 x 10) scope with a Duplex reticle and flip-open lens covers. A Harris bi-pod, a Michaels 1" Quick-Adjust sling with swivels, a rugged Pelican hard case, and samples of Remington gun care products to round out the system. It's only available in .308 Win./26" barrel.
The Model 700P LTR (Light Tactical Rifle), chambered for .308 Win., features a slimmed down stock. The flutes in the 20" LTR not only assist in weight reduction and heat dissipation, but are engineered to enhance barrel rigidity for pinpoint accuracy.

nononsence,
thanks for the info![:D]0 -
700pss and 700police are the same exact rifle, the 700pss became known as the 700police or 700p for marketing reasons, as stated the ltr has a shorter bbl and a smaller stock profile. 0
