Would you pay $3000 for a factory Remington?

[QUOTE="jpfrog, post: 1489606, member: 32525"] I think when you get into this price range, you want to make everything as close to exactly what you want as possible, which means full custom and choosing each individual build component to fit your liking. Buying from Remington, even though it may well be the best rifle you’ve ever handled, you get to choose the cartridge only. I also trust my gunsmith a lot more than a gunsmith I’ve never met or spoken to before, even if they are a master and work for a company as large and storied as Remington. Again, I have 6 Rem700s in my lineup in factory and semi custom configurations and love each one. But the most I’ve paid for a factory rifle from them is about $850 for a 5r Gen 2. If I want to spend more, I’m calling my smith. [/QUOTE]
