[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1591181, member: 2736"] Factory rifles are not the quality than a good long range hunter needs. Its not so much the caliber as it is the accuracy needed for the longer shots. And as Mud said, Lots of people just buy because it sounds cool or is the biggest. some do think that a custom rifle will automatically make them shoot better, but most of these folks are not skilled enough to make it a benefit to them. I have had many factory rifles and many of them were match grade and some have shot well, even 1/2 MOA, but none have consistently shot groups less than 1/10th MOA. So If a person is truly a long range shooter and plans to hunt over 7 or 800 yards for real, then he is going to build a custom rifle. And even though we can dream and talk about extreme shots, most of the time those shots don't present themselves very often. So the best we can do is to practice and build a extremely accurate rifle so we can be ready if a long shot presents it's self. The only other reason to own a custom is the pride of owning a one of a kind. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
