[QUOTE="dbhostler, post: 128009, member: 799"] Another advantage to custom is the chamber. If you reload you can design the reamer to your specs. Factory chambers have a tendency to be "oversize" to accommodate all factory rounds which can effect accuracy. Further, factory barrels can't compare to custom. For a couple of hundred you can replace the factory tube, choose the twist rate for your bullet of choice and end the hours of cleaning your ruff factory bore. You find the right smith, you can have a factory rifle accurized and rebarreled for less than a $1000. I did this with a 6mm Rem a couple of years ago and the rifle easily shoots 1/4 MOA. This is a hunting rifle in a factory stock, not a benchrest gun. I've even taken it to a 1K match, try that with a factory shooter and see how competitive you are. By the way, this rifle I had accurized began as a special run Remington VSSF in .308 which is the same as todays Sendero. db [/QUOTE]
