[QUOTE="RoyB, post: 1379094, member: 1632"] Custom can mean two things....real pretty or real accurate. Sometimes you get both but the pretty thing is in the eye of the beholder. It has been said “ only accurate rifles are interesting”..... I agree. I’ve seen dozens of pretty rifles that can’t hold under an inch and I recently bought two rifles for under $300 that are amazingly accurate. Both Savage..one a hunting weight model 11 and the other a Varmint weight #12. Both in 6.5 Creedmoor. Both are shooting under .75” consistently with just about anything I feed them. Not sure how Savage can build such accuracy for such short dollars. For Semi-Custom, I own 6 Cooper Model 21 rifles. Every one of them are a tack driver and not bad on the eyes. I have a Browning X Bolt that is also well under an inch gun in 270 that is not bad to loook at. And my Ultra Light Arms is expensive, but weighs near nothing and will group in a 25 cent piece, also in 270 Lots of nice rifles out there, just depends on what you want. [/QUOTE]
