Maybe this is a dumb question, but wouldn't the heavy barrel on the remington from their custom shop be as good or better than the model 70?

Their Model 70 Classic Stainless has a fairly heavy barrel contour, and in my hands at least, balances and points very well. Recoil isn't too bad either after replacing the factory recoil pad with a decelerator.

By the way, I'm not brand loyal to any one manufacturer. I own, like, and use Remingtons, Winchesters, and Rugers. They all have their merits IMHO.
