Description
The Remington Model 700 North American Custom Shop 6.5 Creedmoor 24″ Barrel KUIU Full Camo Finish is a purpose-built, high-end hunting rifle. It’s a factory-custom variant of the legendary Model 700 action, chambered in the flat-shooting 6.5 Creedmoor, and finished head-to-toe in a premium KUIU camo pattern for serious backcountry hunters. I’ve put a couple hundred rounds of various match and hunting loads through this platform, and its out-of-the-box precision is what you’re paying for. This isn’t a rack-grade rifle; it’s a tool designed for one job and it does it very well.
Key Features
- Custom Shop Build: Built in Remington’s Custom Shop, not on the standard production line, for tighter tolerances and better fit.
- KUIU Vias Camo Finish: A full-dip, durable camo covering the entire rifle—metal and stock—for exceptional concealment in alpine and timber environments.
- 6.5 Creedmoor Chambering: The modern ballistic sweetheart, offering low recoil, high ballistic coefficient, and excellent terminal performance on medium game.
- 24″ Heavy Sporter Barrel: Provides optimal velocity for the 6.5 Creedmoor cartridge and enhances stability for consistent accuracy.
- Timney Elite Hunter Trigger: A crisp, user-adjustable trigger straight from the factory, a massive upgrade over a standard pull.

The heart of this rifle is the time-tested Remington 700 action, which is famously robust and has an enormous aftermarket. That means you can easily find compatible upgrades from brands like Magpul for stocks or Seekins Precision for scope bases if you ever want to tweak it. The barreled action is bedded into a Bell and Carlson synthetic stock, which is stiff and stable. At a price of $1997.49, you’re investing in a rifle that should, and in my experience does, shoot sub-MOA groups with quality factory ammunition—no gunsmithing required to get it to perform.
Who This Rifle Is For
This rifle is built for the dedicated hunter who chases game in open country or steep terrain where shots can be long and every ounce counts. It’s for the guy who values concealment as much as accuracy and doesn’t want to send a new rifle off for coating. If you’re a whitetail hunter in a box stand 100 yards from the truck, this is overkill. But if you’re packing into the Missouri Ozarks for a western-style hunt, or planning a trip out west for mule deer or elk, this configuration makes perfect sense. The 6.5 Creedmoor is a fantastic cartridge for deer, antelope, and even black bear with proper bullet selection.
Pros & Cons
Pros: The accuracy potential is immediately accessible. The KUIU finish is professionally done and incredibly effective. The 6.5 Creedmoor is mild-recoiling and easy to shoot well. The Custom Shop pedigree means better attention to detail. It’s a turn-key, long-range hunting system.
Cons: Look, it’s a premium rifle with a premium price tag. The full camo finish is a specific look that not everyone wants. At 7.5 pounds bare, it’s not ultralight, so adding a scope and mounts will push it over 9 pounds. Some purists might prefer a traditional walnut stock, but that’s not this rifle’s mission.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the camo finish durable or will it scratch easily?
A: The KUIU finish is a ceramic-based dip that’s quite tough and resistant to chipping and scraping. It’s far more durable than paint and holds up well to field use, though any finish can be marred with enough abuse.
Q: What kind of scope base does it use?
A: The rifle uses the standard Remington 700 short action footprint. It comes drilled and tapped, ready for common Remington 700 bases from brands like Warne, Leupold, or EGW. I’d recommend a set of quality 20 MOA rails if you plan to stretch the 6.5 Creedmoor’s legs.
Q: Does it come with a scope or rings?
A: No, this is a rifle-only purchase. You’ll need to select and mount your own optics and rings. This is actually a benefit, as it lets you choose glass that matches your hunting style and budget. Remember, FFL transfer required for firearm purchases when you order.
Here’s the thing—this Remington Model 700 North American Custom Shop rifle solves several problems at once. You get a proven, accurate action, a modern efficient caliber, and a top-tier camouflage finish without having to coordinate between a gunsmith, a barrel maker, and a coating shop. It’s all done. If your hunting demands a rifle that disappears in the terrain and connects confidently at distance, this one deserves a long look.
