Look great!

But no doubt a Tikka or RAR would tighten that group right up grin

And good luck finding one in 338RUM wink
Oh well,I'll just suffer with the MRC .338 RUM. grin

I have a few. They DO shoot. And I don't worry about a scratch or two...

But I still love my custom Remmys and my 308 Montucky is a joy to hike the mountains with. If I had to choose, it would be a Remmy custom or the Montucky. wink

Who is number one, and why?


I'd add Browning X-bolt SS Stalker to the list and in my experience I'd vote it #1. Right around $1k on GB. Have one in 7mm wsm and it's a better and more accurate rifle than the EW 300 WSM I let go. I have two SS Rem 700s and out of the box, neither was in the league of the X-Bolt. May not be the 'fire fav since the trigger may lock up and fail to shoot in salt water, but fortunately I live in Missouri, so that isn't a concern for me....I haven't owned a Kimber (handles nice), or a Nosler or a XW2. The XW2 with the new stock sounds intriguing. Just my experience.
