[QUOTE="blacknzr1, post: 963229, member: 41187"] My question is, is there truly an advantage over the "out of box" rifle with these more expensive custom types? in my opinion.... yes! (its usually money that holds people back, not that its not worth it. accuracy costs money, you get what you pay for) basicly a factory rifle has become like a lottery ticket, it might shoot, or it might not. and shooting depends on what you expect. a six inch kill zone at 100 yards, no problem anything off the shelf will do that. quarter inch groups at 100 and your really pushing your luck with that factory rifle, and without a hand load probably just dreaming unless your really lucky. with a custom it might be a bit more than the likes of a sendero but at least you know what your getting. I have a sendero, it does shoot well, but it took a while to get there, including a new barrel. next time custom for sure! but in saying this its been an experience and I now know what id like in a custom.
