[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 559329, member: 2736"] Ok Lets try this. Each rifle is an individual just like each build. A good smith will recognize the problems no matter how small and make the best choices for that build in order to produce a quality product. Being a good mechanic takes training being a master mechanic takes training and experance plus attention to details, The same is true with Gun Smiths. Someone that has been doing gun work for years and has the desire to make each build better than the last is the guy that can give you the best chance of getting what you want and in most cases exceed your expectations. Most custom builders can guarantee sub 1/2 MOA rifles, But this doesn't meen that occasionally they will build one that just won't do 1/2 MOA because of the barrel. The good ones will test it and if it does not shoot they will make it good. I can not tell you how to make all Remingtons or Winchesters shoot because they are all different to some degree and require different things. There are basic rules for each type of action and barrel, but they are just that "Basic" and that is what separates the groupies from the rock stars. At one time delivery of a custom rifle took 2+ years and $3,000+ dollars and they came with a 1.5 MOA guarantee. now most come with a 1/2 MOA and less that 6 months delivery at less cost. the only thing that makes the custom seem high is the cheep factory rifles available now. I don't know if that answered your question but I do know that you get what you pay for and experance is part of the price. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
