[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 2430232, member: 10291"] I have factory, semi-custom, and full custom rifles. I have owned quite a few factory rifles that were capable of producing accuracy/SD’s comparable to my full customs(<.5MOA/SD<5). The issue is that buying such a factory rifle can be hit or miss. The probability of a custom or semi-custom delivering top accuracy is pretty good and often guaranteed. While a certain level of accuracy has clearly been a requirement with any rifle I acquire, my customs typically have other distinguishing requirements I desire. This could be a proprietary cartridge, and/or a particular set of components(stock, action, barrel, etc) that fills a particular need, not available with a factory offering. Myself and my friends first season shooting PRC. about four years ago, was shot with out of-the=box Ruger RPR’s. Interestingly both our rifles were as accurate through 120/round matches for that furst season, as our full customs acquired for the following season. With a season under our belts, our full customs did include many of those aforementioned distinguishing requirements.
