Would you pay $3000 for a factory Remington?

[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1489283, member: 2736"] Years ago the Remington custom shop produced some fine rifles, But they were between 1800 and 2500 dollars at the time and fit and finish was second to none. They hand selected the actions, barrels and the walnut stocks and were assembled by real gunsmiths one at a time. Actions were 100% turned on the OD and hart made barrels specifically for there custom shop. Everyone I had shot well below a 1/2 MOA, The 40x trigger was fully adjustable without taking the barreled action out of the stock, When I run across one, I snag it and replace the factory triggers. It is not a Jewell, but it is the best Remington makes. I still have a hart barreled 40x in 308 that has over 23,000 rounds down the tube and it will still shoot 1/2 MOA with Aperture iron sites. I suspect the newer custom shop rifles are not in the same league with the older rifle with wooden stocks and with them using a composite stock I would not spend that much when you can build a custom rifle for around $2.500 to $3,000 dollars Just my opinion J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
