[QUOTE="Deleted member 115360, post: 2240655"] I have a safe full of half minute factory rifles that I paid between $500 and $2k for (roughly). If I want a better stock or trigger, or whatever, I can buy the same equipment used in almost all custom rifles and have it delivered to my front door for a nominal fee. I'm not attacking the idea of a custom rifle, and in years past, it was the only way to get an accuracy guarantee, but now you can reliably buy $500 factory rifles that shoot as well as high end customs, so it seems less relevant than before. If someone wants to spend the money to buy a rifle that nobody else has, I get it, but I don't think it will ever be for me. I have dozens of rifles, too many, and ridiculous redundancy in function in many cases, and perhaps I'd be better off with... let's say 3 really, really nice customs that would fill all of my cartridge desires, (maybe something like 6creed, 300 wsm, and 340bee), but I'd rather have more options. Does it make sense to have dozens of thousand dollar rifle scopes instead of having 3 S&B or March scopes? I don't know. But when I start thinking about dropping $5k on a rifle, my hands start to shake, but a bite at a time, I don't bat an eye at spending $5k in a month on guns or gun parts when I'm so inclined.
