Worth buying? -- Remington Rifle Options

[Canuckenstein]

A friend of mine is selling a bunch of 700s. I was looking at a few but if you were in the market which I kinda am which would you buy and why?
I am a 700 nut so I would buy them all if I could, so would just like some input.

they’re all 700s so I will just list the specs

300wm ATRS in a AICS chassis
308win AAC SD in McMillan A3/A5
338 Rem custom shop 40x
308 Rem custom shop 40x
300 Win Rem custom shop 40x
338 ATRS in McMillan A3/A5
6mmbr wise choice barrel McMillan stock
.222rem 40x not sure about the stock.

All have either Timney or Triggertech triggers except the 40x customs they’re as Remington made them. They all have super low round count as in like 100-200. My friend is a enthusiast not a competitor.

Your friend has some real desirable rifles here to say the least. Not familiar with the atrs or aac but would like to have any of the others in my safe. I shoot .338 and 300WM at my long range gongs etc., I shoot .308 at paper and shorter range gongs, the BR is always fun on paper and gongs. The .222 rem 40x would be sweet and cheap to reload for. Go for as many as you can afford in the discipline you desire. Can't go wrong with any of these.

Remember, all 40X are short action. They will have to be fed single shot.
That is for the long action cartridges.

The 222 has my juices flowing BUT, I just passed on purchasing a Tikka T3X Varmint in 22 250 that was used for only one season and has a very low round count. I known the owner and he had to give up varmint hunting for health reasons. He was willing to make me a very favorite deal.

Yes, I'd love to have it especially for a new farm where I'll be hunting ghogs next summer where shots over 250 yards are numerous. But with the current shortages of components I'm not about to buy another rifle especially at my age where time is of the essences.

I probably have enough components for 2 years for my routine range practice which I enjoy immensely and varmint / predator hunting so I'm conserving resources to enjoy what I have and make it last.

May have been confused when I typed the OP. I know there is 3 Rem custom shop. They all have the Rem green McMillans. I think maybe jus the 308 is a 40x I’m pretty sure there’s three 40x’s up for grabs. If anybody lives in Southern Ontario. Their all going. The two I really want he’s not selling. Which is the Rem Factory refurbished M24 and M40. Sigh
