[QUOTE="DakotaGlockGuy, post: 748801, member: 59926"] [b]Still debating[/b] Thanks for the info. The 12 LRP was/is my first choice, but that was before I knew about the custom stuff from Savage being so reasonable. I just want to get the info on pricing both ways. I figure the two ways to look at it are: 1. This is my FIRST long range rifle so I don't need to go crazy with it, or 2. This is probably going to be my ONLY long range rifle, so I better make it good! Honestly though, this probably will be my ONLY rifle, so I'm not worried about spending the extra money since I'll only need to do it once. I just want to make sure I'm getting enough value in the difference to justify the cost. [B]<RELOADING>[/B] Reloading for me isn't an issue of cost, it's an issue of time. I love to tweak things to try and make them better. If I reload, in addition to the time it takes to do that, I have the extra time involved in tweaking the load and testing the new rounds. I think THAT is what turns me off the most about it is that I'll be in almost a perpetual state of experimentation. I figure if I don't have any reloading equipment in the house, that time could be spent elsewhere. [COLOR=blue]I guess I'm just wondering if there is such a difference in accuracy that the only way I could shoot 1/4MOA is with reloads, but at least in the case of the custom, it looks like that is acheivable with factory loads.[/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
