Some of my favorite rifles I own are those of the Remington Custom Shop….namely the KS rifles. They are quite the rifle and in my opinion very understated. Those that know them, love them. I’m one of those that love them. Who owns and loves the Remington KS mountain rifles? Rifles 350RM, 7-08, 223, 35 Whelen, .280 https://imgur.com/a/0qzCM91 Last edited by d500lnn; 05/07/23.

And its big brother, a lefty KS in 375 H&H. With some battle scars. The 300 I had built in 1993. I called the custom shop and asked if they would do one so chambered. They said no problem. It’s killed a bunch of deer, quite a few elk, a few antelope and several caribou. The 375 I found at a shop in Wasilla for a bargain price. It came pre scarred from the previous owner. It is a handful from the bench but then, not many bench rest matches are shot with 375s. Last edited by mart; 05/07/23. Chronographs, bore scopes and pattern boards have broke a lot of hearts.

The KS series are a good rifle. Understated is a good description. My two are wonderfully accurate and I’ve heard the same from other KS owners. I’m a fan.

I'm away from home working in Alaska and can't get to them but I know I have a couple of 7mm Rem Mags that are both great shooters and a 300 RUM that I haven't even fired yet in the safe. I had some others chambered in various cartridges that I wasn't invested in and let them go in trades. ..."I will not tip toe through life, to meet death safely."

There is - the KS contour for a non-magnum is more similar to a Rem Mtn rifle/1st Gen Ti contour then to their regular sporter barrel. If I can find it I'll try to repost here, I did a comparison of both the KS and a Mtn rifle contour and posted it here but its been several years. In the pictures you can see how similar they are at certain points when you measure down the barrel. But where the KS is better IMHO is the fact it finishes at 24" versus 22" like the Mtn rifle, helps balance a rifle a bit more. "Rather hunt Mule deer than anything else" "Team 7MM-08"

They are the same - the Remington Custom Shop KS Mountain rifle I guess what it is technically called. The "KS" I believe was because of the Kevlar stock - KS part of that. So if they came out of the Custom Shop its a KS rifle, if they where a regular mountain rifle they had wood or plastic stocks and the regular mountain rifle also had a 22" barrel where the KS Mountain Rifle barrels are 24". AKwolverine can correct me if I got anything wrong but think thats pretty accurate description?? "Rather hunt Mule deer than anything else" "Team 7MM-08"

If you ever decide to foolishly part with that 243, I’d like a shot at it👍🏼 Nick, during moments of stupidity on my part I actually sold the top 2 rifles You're not the only idiot Frank. Last time I had track, the top rifle still resides in Texas. I've tried numerous times to buy it back, but to no avail. 24HCF in its entirety, is solely responsible for why my children do not have college funds, my mortgage isn't paid-off and why I will never retire early enough to enjoy the remainder of my life.

I ordered a KS .338 Win. Mag in 1987, which I believe was the first year production. It was my only big game rifle until 1999. Been sitting in the safe as a spare to my Rifles, Inc. Strata .338 since then. Check it every few years to make sure it’s still sighted in.
