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.
