RE: Alaskan Wilderness Rifles?
IMHO no.
It is still a factory Remington 700. What you get for the added $1000 is a fiberglass stock, a bedding job, and teflon coating. Hardly worth an extra grand.
You can do the same thing to an existing 700 by purchasing an HS Precision stock ($276), get a trigger job ($50), and have it, the rings and bases, and the scope coated yourself ($260) and spend about half what you would spend on an AWR.
