I wouldn't worry too much. Any custom rifle built with Bartlein, Krieger, Benchmark, etc by a quality builder will probably out shoot the shooter.
Fewer shooters build on Benchmark, why, because the pros shoot Bartlein. Will a Benchmark shoot great? Yes.
Surgeon Rifles are well established in the Precision Rifle Series and if they don't build on Benchmark barrels it's because they have a reputation to uphold.
Although I don't know the facts I'm sure many of the "pros" are running custom (Surgeon, Stiller, Deviant, Bighorn) actions as well. Will a Remington, Winchester, Howa, Tika, or Savage action shoot great after after being worked over by a custom builder? You bet. It's just with some of those actions you don't get as much after market support.
I built my rifle on a Winchester action with Bartlein barrel. Why, because I couldn't afford a custom action and GA Precision had a barrel in stock and that's what George, the owner recommended. I also believe the Winchester action is superior to a Remington.
I have a spiral fluted medium palma Bartlien on a surgeon action being built by Jon Beanland right now. 260rem AX chassis
Almost bought a surgeon scapel but I'm glad I just bought the action and sent it to jon..

I envy you, you'll have a work of "deadly" art. Post pics when you get it.
I was going that route until bj and a few other guys I respect said to go the benchmark route. BJ says they shoot as good or better and clean easily. And are cheaper. One of the few times I went to gene sears with something in mind and they talked me into a cheaper option. Normally it's the other way around.

If you think BJ is a nice caring guy that would not steer you in the wrong direction then think again... Just left there yesterday after he talked me into spending $1050... The time before that $2000. The time before that $1500.... Can you see what he does to people!!!!
You really cannot beat the service and inventory of Gene Sears... BJ, Adam, Steve to name a few are very helpful people. I really hate them and their store for being so convenient...
