Remington 40x in 308. Your thoughts? Estimated value used?

Does anyone own one of these with the Kevlar stock? Looking at a used one.

I don’t own one, but they have an excellent reputation.
Kevlar is not a good material for rifle stocks; I wouldn’t pay extra for it, it’s just marketing.
I would like to see one put to the test against a heavy barrel like the 700 VLS or 700 SPS.
You don’t see them come up for sale much; a new one is $2182 from Buds.
I’m just bumping this discussion up; maybe someone that has one can offer some comments….

The 40X is a higher quality, fit and finish wise, gun than the 700.

Does it shoot better? Hard to say as each gun is different.

Weve got one (...a single shot; no receiver cut for magazine. Makes the action stiffer...). It is a 300 win mag with a wooden stock bedded with devcon and free floated 28 inch remington proof barrel. With a high magnification scope (...16x...), it will shoot better than i can hold. If i remember right; it would shoot about 1/2 to 5/8 at 300 yards off a roll shootin from the prone position. They were the gold standard of the long range rifles 30 or so years ago. They used to be used in national match and long range (....1000 yd...) shooting before the custom rifles came into vogue. No idea what one is worth today.

Per 2011 Gun Digest Book of Guns and Prices, a Remington 40x centerfire ranges from poor @ 300 to excellent @1200. It seems there are a lot of variables as far as stock and gun finishes. I did not see any pricing option for the kevlar stock. Other than that I don't know anything about them.
