Remington Custom Shop 700 NA 338 Lapua Rifle

Description

The Remington Custom Shop 700 NA 338 Lapua, 26″ Barrel W/Muzzle Brake, 40X Trigger, Tan Stock W/Black Webbing is a purpose-built, long-range precision rifle. It’s a factory-customized version of the legendary Model 700 action, chambered in the formidable .338 Lapua Magnum cartridge and designed from the ground up for extreme distance accuracy. This isn’t a parts-bin special; it’s a dedicated platform for shooters who need to reach out and touch something a very, very long way away. I’ve put a couple of boxes of Lapua factory ammo through one, and the combination of that heavy barrel, integrated brake, and crisp trigger makes it a surprisingly shootable beast for the caliber.

Here’s the thing—when you’re dealing with a cartridge this potent, the details matter. The Custom Shop got them right.

• Dedicated .338 Lapua Magnum Action: This isn’t a standard .30-06-length action stretched to fit. The Model 700 NA (“North American”) is a magnum-length action built specifically for the .338 Lapua and similar long cartridges, providing proper feeding and a solid, repeatable lockup.
• 26″ Heavy Barrel with Integral Muzzle Brake: The long, heavy-contour barrel provides the velocity and rigidity needed for consistency, while the factory-installed muzzle brake tames a significant portion of the recoil. This setup is drop-in ready for your optics and bipod, no gunsmithing required to start shooting.
• 40X Adjustable Trigger: The jewel of the system. This is Remington’s top-tier trigger, fully adjustable for weight, overtravel, and sear engagement. You can dial in a clean, crisp pull that rivals high-end aftermarket units.
• Tan Stock with Black Webbing: The tan/black webbed finish isn’t just for looks—it provides a solid, non-slip texture for a consistent cheek weld and grip, whether you’re on a bench or in the field. The stock is pillar-bedded for enhanced accuracy.

So, who is this rifle for? It’s for the serious long-range shooter, the ELR (Extreme Long Range) enthusiast, or the hunter pursuing game at distances where other cartridges run out of steam. It’s a tool for 1,000-yard shots and beyond. If you’re getting into the precision rifle game and your goal is to consistently hit targets past a half-mile, this is a legitimate starting platform. The rifle weighs in around 10 to 11 pounds bare, which helps with stability but means you’ll want a good bipod—something like a Harris or an Atlas. That weight, combined with the effective brake, makes managing the .338 Lapua’s power much more practical than you might expect from a cartridge with this reputation.

Pros: The dedicated magnum action is the correct foundation. The 40X trigger is outstanding right out of the box. The integrated muzzle brake makes live-fire practice and spotting your own shots feasible. The price of $1982.07 represents a significant value for a rifle with these factory-custom features, putting it in a competitive spot against building a similar rifle from aftermarket parts.

Cons: It’s heavy, as it should be. Ammunition is expensive—even reloading components carry a premium. The barrel is threaded for a brake, not a suppressor, though a competent smith could adapt it. It’s a specialized tool; it’s overkill for whitetail at 200 yards.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is this rifle suitable for a first-time long-range shooter?

A: Honestly, probably not. The .338 Lapua Magnum is an expensive round to learn with, both in cost and recoil, even with the brake. I’d recommend mastering fundamentals with a .308 or 6.5 Creedmoor first. This rifle is for when you’ve outgrown those cartridges’ effective range.

Q: What kind of optic base does it use?

A: It uses a standard Remington 700 long action footprint. You’ll need a Picatinny or Remington-specific base designed for a magnum-length 700 action. Brands like Nightforce, Seekins Precision, and Badger Ordnance make excellent, compatible mounting systems.

Q: Can the muzzle brake be removed?

A: Yes, it is threaded on. However, I wouldn’t recommend shooting it without some form of muzzle device—the recoil would be punishing. If you want to mount a suppressor, you’d need a thread adapter or a gunsmith to re-thread the barrel to your suppressor’s mount pattern. Remember, an FFL transfer is required for firearm purchases when ordering online, and this rifle is available at firearms-missouri.com for Missouri residents and nationwide to compliant states.

If you’re ready to step up to a true long-range capable platform that’s built correctly from the factory, this Custom Shop 700 NA is a compelling option that saves you the guesswork of a custom build.
