[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 684914, member: 10291"] I own both custom and factory rifles and can assure you that this will not be a factor in your long range hunting success, particularly with many of the factory rifles available today. Myself, and several of my buddies own more than a few factory rilfles that will hold their own with precision when put up against the more costly customs for long range hunting. You may have to work with your trigger, bedding, etc. Depending on what your max range will be, caliber, bullet, and scope section will be important factors. Having the ability to reload is is much more important capability to have and may cost you a lot less in the end, particulatly when looking at Federal Premium ammo. When I first started going for the longer shots I used a Model 70 sporter in 270 WSM with a 4.5x14 Leupold, Remington 150gr. Accutips with a BC of .525, and had no problem taking game out to 700 yards. I almost always reloaded, but this combo gave exceptional performance. The whole set up was under $1000. IMHO. [/QUOTE]
