[QUOTE="Korhil78, post: 786784, member: 34818"] The main reason that I believe that people go custom is for longrange purposes. You don't really need a custom $5k rifle that you will only be shooting out to 600 yards with unless you just want one. The reason that I went with a full on custom rifle is for the consistency that it will get me at 1K yards and beyond. There are TONS of factory rifles that will shoot .5 MOA or less at 100 yards on a consistent basis. Heck, there are tons of factory rifles that will shoot .5 MOA at 600 yards. But there are VERY, VERY, few IF ANY factory rifles that will hold their own with a full custom rifle at LR and ELR shooting distances. The care and tight tolerances that are utitlized in the making of a full custom gives it the ability to shoot tighter groups at the longer ranges over and over again with the right handloads and a good shooter. Now a semi custom may well hold its own with a full on custom but I havnt owned a semi custom nor have I shot one so I cant tell you. My custom 338 Lapua is absolutely amazing in the make and feel of it. It has been a .3-.4 MOA rifle all the way out to 700 yards so far. On monday, I shot a three shot group at 700 yards with this rifle that measured 1.25". I am going to let that one go as luck but I do believe that the rifle is capable of doing it if I am. Hopefully by April, I will have broken the 1K mark with this gun. [/QUOTE]
