Idaho_ Elk_ Huntr Posted March 27, 2006 Report Share Posted March 27, 2006 Anyone ever owned a Remington Custom Shop rifle? I was wondering what to expect as far as quality. Thanks for any help!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ Posted March 27, 2006 Report Share Posted March 27, 2006 Re: Remington Custom shop?? Nope, never have. I thought about buying one at one time, but for that price, I will go with a custom barreled gun by a gunsmith that knows accuracy using a top quality barrel. The resale value of the Remington Custom Shop gun will be higher but the performance won't be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Idaho_ Elk_ Huntr Posted March 27, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2006 Re: Remington Custom shop?? I got it for about half for what it list for on the website. Its the APR 300 Ultra NIB. Its probably just thrown together like the rest of them. I still cant wait to get it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strut10 Posted March 29, 2006 Report Share Posted March 29, 2006 Re: Remington Custom shop?? Actually, there's nothing "custom" about the Remington Custom Shop. You want and buy what they make or you don't get what you want. I called them last fall to see if I couldn't simply get a 26" barrel on a rifle that came "factory" with a 24" barrel, normally. "Nope. We don't do that." I thought "custom" meant being able to order what you wanted if you had enough $$$ to pay for it. It doesn't. They should just call it what it is.......the Remington Expensive Production Gun Shop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Born2Hunt Posted March 29, 2006 Report Share Posted March 29, 2006 Re: Remington Custom shop?? Check with LETMGROW he has a 7400 .308 that came from the custom gun shop at Remington. He loves that darn thing and it will hands down out shoot any other gun he owns and my 700 BDL's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doubleA Posted March 29, 2006 Report Share Posted March 29, 2006 Re: Remington Custom shop?? I have 40 XB KS in 300 Weatherby. It's single shot built on a short action. Yes, it was built in Remington's Custom Shop. The Mc Millan stock is free floated and hand bedded, the barrel is match grade 27 1/4"SS, the action is their best 700 with 40X rollmarks, the trigger is highly tuned, mine breaks like glass at 24 oz. The rifle shoots better than I can .....1/2 MOA is the norm with 180-200 grainers and a healthy dose of R22. Life is good, Give God the Glory......doubleA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
