Would you pay $3000 for a factory Remington?

[QUOTE="Mike 338, post: 1490716, member: 41338"] That's what I did. Got a 783 in 308 for just such a project. It didn't shoot very well in it's original configuration anyhow. Put a Criterion barrel on it in 6.5x47. A Boyds stock, PT&G bottom metal, AI magazine and a EGW 20 moa rail along with a SWFA 3x15 scope. I even found a 2 piece tactical bolt knob on Ebay for it. The factory trigger was fair enough and as far as I know, nothing else is available. Actually, it all ended up being "not cheap". It shoots pretty good (about 1/2 moa) although I wouldn't confuse it with a high end gun. It likes 123 gr. Lapua scenars. We have a shooting range that once a month, you can shoot at 500 meters. It hits a 6" plate without any problems. Now even though I bought a few parts and slapped them together and got the gun to shoot fair after looking for a load, I wouldn't call this a "Custom" gun anymore than I would call myself a expert shooter. Frankly, I'd like to see Remington Custom Shop back up their work with an accuracy guarantee with quality factory ammo. A bucket of brand parts doesn't necessarily translate into a good finished product. [/QUOTE]
