[QUOTE="wasskeet, post: 2240692, member: 117080"] IMHO, the best value is a little-used custom. Not going to find one daily, monthly or maybe even yearly. Just like stand hunting, lots of watching and waiting. But at often 35-50% off, especially if dealing with individual, that is the way to go. What you most likely will not find though is exactly what caliber you want. As for what customs have going for them - even a casual inspection will reveal the differences. Barrel centered in forend, slick action, easy bolt release, high quality recoil pad ground perfectly to fit, already bedded with no compound on stock or metal, etc. Next, as I have discovered, one call to the maker will give you a treasure trove of load data, info and most likely a new friend even if you did not buy the rifle new.
