Has he considered doing a custom build?

Nope, don't really care what others shoot. Anyone who's been around already knows my opinion. Besides, I enjoyed watching some of the morons poke, prod & run their yaps without getting any attention. It's amusing to say the least.

I was busy though. I would rather be buying/ wheeling & dealing guns for myself. Rather than yapping about someone else's. :tup:

One Tikka i had a few years ago I installed a 30" Hart varmint  contour capped with a Vias . 300 WSM. Long throated it shot VERY nicely! :)

Wow, everyone is so hard on Remington.  I enjoy shooting them.  I haven't had any issues. Knock on wood.  But it comes down to his comfort level and how it feels to him.  Try and find someone who can let him shoot one or the other to get the feel of it.  Now my friend has a Ruger M77 7mm and that is a good shooter.  Best of luck deciding on the right one.

Can't even count how many I have shot in 25 plus years with factory barrels. Then again, I don't shoot factory Ammuntion. I have handloaded for them all, in all those years with all those rifles. I have had two problem child Remington's that no matter what I tried load wise would not shoot under 2 MOA. One was a model seven in .300 SAUM and the other a .300 Ultra Magnum in a SPS.

Then there are those I own or have owned with... Douglas, Shaw, Krieger, brux, Schneider, hart, Rock, Benchmark, Pac-Nor, Obermeyer, Blackhole  barrels etc. That will all shoot superbly well with a little handload work. Most being wildcats of one flavor or another.

I've owned some beat up Remington 788's that were spooky accurate.

Remington 700 7mm for sure. American snipers use the 700 action, so they are VERY dependable and the 7mm cartridge is one hard hitting s.o.b.
