[QUOTE="Mikecr, post: 421019, member: 1521"] I agree with JE I think it's possible to out gun-build others though. Anyone can screw benchrest pieces together and call it custom. With obvious combinations, the outcome is almost certain to fall within an acceptable band, for limited use, with a well tuned load. The typical point blank BR gun.. Anyone of us could cut checks for a turn-key 30br, <1/4moa to 300yds, purpose built gun(in passion pink). But if a gunbuilder reverse engineers some USEFUL combination that happened to work really well, he might be able to consistently reproduce it. This is Cooper, GA Precision, etc. With a great deal of testing, a gunbuilder might perfect a special combination(like a field carry gun that's accurate). I don't know that any are still alive! But this is just what gunbuilders should do: Build a gun to a specific set of standards. Validate the gun's actual performance. Auction it off based on that actual capability. You buy the system: the gun, dies, and load info. But I've yet to see anyone do this. You didn't say which Tac-Ops model, but I've heard the Tangos make owners happy. It has a very short barrel, and I'm sure it's twist limits the ammo to just that recommended. If the 1/4moa 'qualifiers' were laid all out in view, things would not appear so mystical.. There may very well be something proprietary to their barrel purchase orders. Tac-Ops may have bluprinted a specific barrel(a hummer), and they may be willing to pay a ton to get them exactly that way. Same everything, inside and out. Wish this were an option for the rest of us. I for one would certainly pay 4-5x more for a barrel that was verified to meet a hummer blueprint right up front, provided it had any real world use. What I have a hard time believing though, is that a gun could be implied so accurate with off the shelf Federal factory ammo, and a 2.5# trigger. I would make Tac-Ops prove it on paper by gun serial number, and ammo lot number, before cutting any checks. I would also want reload info worked up that performs so well, because you cannot count on factory ammo consistency from store to store. That is, if the gun is very expensive. How much do they ask for their guns? [/QUOTE]
