[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 1108271, member: 12995"] If you read my whole post, and only got negativity about Savage from it, then I'm sorry you can't find the truth in what the post was truly about... It had nothing to do with a particular brand, that was just the one that was offered up by someone else. The fact is, if you put ANY brand of factory rifle against a custom, then the custom has better odds at being a more accurate rifle. It's not that I "can't wrap my head around it", it's that I choose not to drink the Kool-Aid, because ANY factory rifle can be accurate, and ANY factory rifle can be a lemon...Factory barrels are a crap-shoot (no pun intended). I've had factory Remington barrels that wouldn't shoot. What did I do? I removed them and scrap-piled them. But everyone chooses to crap on Remington, as if they're the only one, and refuses to admit that other brands have and have had their fair-share of issues over the years, as well. I also had a nice Browning A-Bolt II with an inconsistent barrel. Ended up pulling that barrel off, too. And let's not forget to mention the ole' famous $2,200 MSRP Accumark .257 Wby that had a bad barrel from the factory that sent me chasing better than 1.5 MOA @ 100 meters for years with different loads, bullets, powders, charges, primers, etc... And never did make the cut. That goes to show you whether it's a $500 Remington, $1,000 Browning, or a $2,000 Weatherby, ALL factory barrels are a gamble. The reason I warn people about the Weatherbys so much, is NOT just to hear myself talk. It's so they won't make a $1,800+ mistake, like I did. I learned that lesson the hard way, and if I can save someone else the headache and money, I'm going to give them a heads-up, if all they've ever heard about them was positive. The fact is, nothing man-made is perfect...Just like Savages or Remingtons or Brownings...Or whatever brand you choose. They can all have their flaws. Whether it be Remington, Savage, Winchester, etc... You can build a hell of a nice custom rifle that has a much better chance for accuracy for what an Accumark costs...Just food for thought. [/QUOTE]
