[QUOTE="jrock, post: 2491744, member: 78569"] From my research, the Kimber Hunter is hard to beat for cost. However, building a custom is much more fun. Sure it will cost 2x to 3x depending on the weight but the Hunters aren't ultralights. The cost really jumps if you are trying to get the rifle under 5.5 lbs. Also, with a custom, you wouldn't have to to cut down the barrel to make weight. Lots of configurations and options. If I were to drop $2k on a rifle, I'd seriously consider customization vs. a factory option. It is true that factory guns, even at the lower price points, are getting much better. Going custom gives me the confidence that I'll get what I'm paying for. [/QUOTE]
