[QUOTE="JAYgs8163, post: 2240821, member: 37460"] Too many reasons to list why or how. This could be a book, The Custom Rifle”. Here’s one, Just sent a “newer” factory rifle back for the second time across the country for repair. $60 shipping each time. One more, I get exactly what I WANT. Twist rate, barrel length, best trigger available. Find a factory rifle with that special twist rate to shoot the heavies. ie Berger 6mm 115 EOL, recommended twist rate 7 or faster. Go find a 7 twist factory rifle in 6 Creed, 243, etc... Another, now I can do just about all of it myself and get the satisfaction of building it. Tolerances are so repeatable on a Custom Action we now have Prefit Shouldered barrels. I own a few custom rifles but I’m building myself, my first custom now. I will assemble everything, skim bed myself, “Duracoat” the barreled action. 18” 308 and also have a 7-08 barrel that’s 24” I can screw right on. Now it’s becoming much more affordable. MacBros actions now are $595. TriggerTech $119-129, Prefit shouldered barrel or barrel nut barrel $450-500 and up, bottom metal $129-150, Grayboe Stock $300-600. Patience required to final fit everything-priceless. Anyways, I could go on and on. [/QUOTE]
