[QUOTE="birdiemc, post: 1583205, member: 29632"] I love the journey personally so taking a rem700 that shoots 5MOA groups and making it shoot sub MOA is fun. Is it worth the cost, especially if placing a dollar value on my time? ABSOLUTELY NOT, compared to buying a custom rig that you know is going to perform. But for me personally that is the excitement. I dont get much opportunity to shoot past 100 yards, and not to sound arrogant, but if the rifle/ammo combo is correct I can shoot good enough that I get bored. Definitely not 15 bullets through the same hole, by any stretch of the imagination, but what really keeps me interested is the process of taking a rifle to that point. Now that's just me personally. I build houses for a living, I work on my own cars, I like doing that kind of stuff. But I absolutely respect the folks that are only interested in the end result and have the money to buy the best. When I was younger that didnt make sense to me, but I get it now. If everybody could build a house who would buy one I built? Got a little carried away there, but I guess my point is, even if I had a rifle that wasnt living up to the guarantee, (look at my Bergara thread, wouldn't even chamber the first factory ammo I tried) I would personally want to figure out why. But I dont expect everybody to think like me and want to know why it's doing what doing. Many would justifiably take the rifle back and want the problem resolved, and that's ok too. [/QUOTE]
