[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 2451801, member: 30902"] For the vast majority of people a custom rifle makes no sense at all really for all the reasons you stated. One thing for sure is that it's a virtual certainty that if you ever sell a custom rifle you'll be lucky to get the cost of your components back out of it so you can't justify them as an investment either. Why are they so much higher? Whether it's Winchester, Remington, Savage, Tikka or any other major manufacturer, they make their money on the volume of rifles they can produce and sell at market prices using minimal human labor and maximum CNC equipment. A custom gunsmith will have five to ten times the hours in your rifle than was ever put into a factory rifle. Time and craftsmanship cost money and a big part of what you end up paying for is their experience. [/QUOTE]
