[QUOTE="Willib9, post: 1570364, member: 102821"] You can also build a rifle like the bighorn I mentioned off of a factory savage long action. The thing with modern day barrels, actions and stocks is that you can build a .5 to 1 MOA rifle by basically bolting together parts. If you bought a savage long action in .300 win mag or any other long action caliber you could build a switch barrel rifle just by buying a 6.5 barrel and you could do it for relatively cheap. What the bighorn buys you is basically a Remington action with savage barrel threads and controlled round feed. I've built a number of semi custom rifles and never had one not shoot. Not to say that it can't happen but nowadays its extremely rare. Plus, any custom gunmaker worth their salt will work with you to troubleshoot/resolve a brand new rifle that will not shoot. Both factory and custom guns are getting so accurate that most of the time it's the person behind the scope that is the problem. A person who buys a $500 rifle and shoots every weekend will generally be more accurate and proficient than someone who buys a $4500 rifle and shoots every 6 months. Whatever you buy shoot and shoot often. [/QUOTE]
