[QUOTE="yorke-1, post: 1592671, member: 11960"] For the price of a lot of factory guns these days, it makes more sense to just build a semi custom rifle. The easiest way to finance a full custom rifle is to sell off the semi custom you had built a year or so ago. The long range shooting community is growing so right now you're seeing more people who've sold off their factory guns to build a semi custom, and now they're selling off their semi custom to build a full custom. As far as caliber goes, I think it's just a bi-product of a new batch of shooters getting into the sport. The larger guns are just too expensive to shoot for shooters who're just getting into the sport. How many folks in their early 20's can afford to go shoot a 338 Lapua on a regular basis? You'll get young guys who're looking to for the ultimate long range rifle so the they drop their whole budget building a 338 of some kind and they're into it $3K. What they didn't account for is the cost per shot after the gun was built. I don't think it has as much to do with an inability to control a large caliber, they just can't afford it. [/QUOTE]
