Saw an old friend today and he was sighting in a new rifle. Gunsmith had installed a new barrel on a 700 receiver and it was nutless. Strange to me was it was a barrel bought from Remington. The owner said something about it being and "X pro barrel" or something like that. It had the Remington factory roll printing but eluded to the fact it was custom. Has anyone heard of this? Where do you get them? Do I want one?
Custom rifle barrels from Remington

No I know exactly what a Remage is, and many shooters and gunsmiths assemble them that way. This gun was for sure rebarreled, and it was done in the same manner as a standard 700. As for how it shot, I was not a witness. The owner and his friend were impressed, but I don't know what their expectations are.

I've got an old 40XBR that is a stock rifle from the late seventies. Believe the barrel is the original from Remington at that time. Did Remington rifle their own barrels for the custom shop rifles at that time, or contract it out to --?? Only stamps on this one are the cartridge, 22BR Rem, and (R.E.P) and a few other tiny numbers.

Here's what the markings look like on a Remington Custom Shop barrel; at least in 2004. This is my 40XBKS - I was told it was a Wilson barrel.

On 8/9/99, stopped stamping the barrels with the date code. They continued to mark the date code on the end flap of the shipping box. They resumed stamping the date code on the barrel on 10/1/01.
the company rarely changed barrels on a customer’s rifle.

They used schnieder barrels on real sniper rifles but unless you were one you likely never seen one. Past that as far as i know you were getting a remington barrel on everything from a 40x to a speedmaster. That lack of rollstamping on a 40x cost a lot of money to have a remington in the end.
I think at present time the custom shop is using a variety of different barrel manufacturers for there projects customer preferences.
We all learn every day. That still does not change the OP's assumption, nor validate his friends claim.
