I am no big fan of remingtons in general but I do own a custom shop model 7 in .350 rem mag and even weighing only 5 7/8 lbs with a 20" barrel that thing shoots as good as my Sako. I can shoot a hair over 1/2' MOA with hot hunting loads pushing 225 gr Partitions. The trigger is as good as anything around also. I definitely think they don't just pull an action and barrel out of the pile when they assemble a custom shop rifle.
