[QUOTE="rick523, post: 688901, member: 46920"] The advice on reloading is very legit, it will definatley improve the accuracy of your A Bolt. Once you start reloading and see the improvment in group size if your like pretty much everyone else you want to improve them even more (different rifle). Two years ago I felt the same way you do about a custome rifle, then I went on a mule deer hunt in Wy. I live in Indiana. I took my Tika 308 with hand loads sub moa and felt pretty comfortable shooting out to 4-500yds. Second day out had two very respectable bucks one in the 170-180 range at 665yds uphill I did not take the shoot because I knew my limitations, never seen another deer that I wanted to take. I told myself then the next time I went West it would be with a rifle I was confident in shooting out to 800yds plus. I am fortunate I have a very good smith within 16mi. of my home, he just finished the build last month on a 7mm rem mag. I'm retired but have a lawn care business to pay for my trips and toys I have a litle over $5000 in this rifle shot at 800yds last week group measured 3.773 inches and has been getting better do I regreat the expense? No way this thing is a ball to shoot it is scary accurate that makes it just that more enjoyable, the only regret I have is I put off a trip out west this year to get comfortabe with the gun. Not to mention we have been in a drought for last six months not good for lawn care. Anyway you may change your mind as your groups get smaller. "Shoot straight,Shoot once" [/QUOTE]
