[QUOTE="BrentM, post: 1824368, member: 61747"] I used to be the guy who felt a good factory rifle with quality scope and tuned ammo was the ticket. I still think it is just fine and will likely shoot quite well. I have not had a factory rifle that didn't work well. However, having a custom rifle is a personal joy. Mixing up parts, preferences, etc and making something you like is hard to beat. Heck that can be a factory rifle too. Its a little like motorcycles, trucks, cars...…. set of wheels, bumpers, graphics.....etc makes your ride stand out in your mind. I went through a lot of preference changes in my builds and wound up settling on a shorter barrel rifle with a suppressor (hunting), a chassis with folding stock, and a switch barrel action. This seems to be my sweet spot. Gives me a lot of options and suits me very well. This set up might make someone else cringe at the cost and look but it's my rig, and I'll take my personal satisfaction over others opinions. Today when someone talks about custom or semi custom I am totally on board with them. If someone wants a stock savage I'm on board with them too. [/QUOTE]
