Remington custom shop

I got my yearly bonus from work and was considering getting a new rifle from it and was wondering if the rifles from the Remington custom shop are worth the money or should I look at someting else ? The 2 calibers I'm thinking of getting is a 300 RUM or 300 WSM

Only you can determine that. It would not be my first option, but I'm not a diehard Remmy nut either.

What's the cost? aren't they close to 3grand? If so I think an HS is what I'd get for that kinda cash... 1/2MOA guarantee...

Yeah the cheapest price I got for the Remington custom shop AWR II in 300 RUM is $2700.00 I also thought of the HS precision rifle but also might check out a Weatherby,Sako,Kimber and who knows ?

supposedly this is the best "custom rifle" deal out there...

What's the intended purpose of this rifle? deer? elk? everything?

how about a .270wsm? or .340wby? you already have a .300RUM?

No way in hell would I pay what Remington wants for their "custom" rifles.

HS Precision would be my pick for that kind of cash.

Many over the counter Remington 700's will shoot pretty darn good groups. Most can be made to shoot an inch or less groups with only a little extra effort. The custom shop guns will most likely shoot these kind of groups from the start, but are they worth the extra $2000 over the over the counter 700's? I surely don't think so. Rifles are more accurate than they ever were these days. I don't see much benefit in these high priced custom guns that will shoot only a little better. In most shooting situations you will never know the difference.
