[QUOTE="rtv900, post: 281469, member: 9837"] I own four Remington Custom Shop rifles. Three of them are AWR's and one is an AWR II. Speak with Keith there or leave a message and he will call you back. All of their work has been very very very good. I have a 375 H&H. The only one ever made with Safari sights. Its a way cool 6.75 LB 375 H&H AWR (my favorite gun ever). I have a second 375 H&H AWR with no sights (just a swarovski Z6 1-6 scope). I have a 280 Rem AWR II which I just think is wonderful and shoots like a dream. I have a 7mm AWR which I have have not shot yet. All are left handed. They really turn out a great and accurate product. They make a really cool gun and they're easy to work with. i don't like B&C stocks so I have had all of mine build with McMillan stocks. There is no problem doing that. You will have to remind them that they are a custom shop once and awhile. They make the AWR's with bottom metal and B&C socks. Let them know how you want it built and thats the way you will get it. Now listen to this though. I also have a Remington BDL in 300RUM (actually two of them). I hate the way a BDL looks and I don't do bottom metal. All of my stuff has to be ADL style. Its just me. I am not saying anyone else has to do that and there are benefits of bottom metal but for me there are none. The custom shop has always made those adjustments for me. OK back to the BDL's. I got talking with Jim See at Center Shot Rifles. There are a lot of good smiths on this forum. I am not the one to talk to about that. I consider myself a newbe when it comes to smith knowledge and I don't pretend otherwise. Jim just clicked with me. He has a great reputation and is a true joy to speak with.
