On the top end


Talked to Joe at the Remington custom shop Friday. He said they can
build me a CUSTOM 40-X similar to an Anschutz 54.18 for the same
price. Am I comparing apples to apples here?

Still most competitive shooters are using Anschutz production
products over any custom rifles. Maybe?

Are the standard production Anschutz rifles the ones used by the top
shooters or are they using a custom, custom Anschutz?

So when you look down the firing line and see all those Anschutzes, they are really custom rifles? The only thing from the factory is the stock, with the name...

Z, Stay away from the Remington Custom Shop deal. There is no way that they can put on all the accessories like snow covers, etc for the same price. The...
