[QUOTE="rick523, post: 925198, member: 46920"] IMO there is a little more to a custom barrel than ease of cleaning, I own several Rem.700's they shoot pretty well just to name a couple one started life as a sps varmint heavy barrel in .223. It now sits in a HS Precision stock, has Jewel trigger installed, bedded, sako extractor, it does however wear a factory barrel. It cleans up pretty quick but not as easily as a custom. Another is a .308 VSSF with again a jewel trigger, sako extractor, and a brake. It will hold .75 moa out to 1000 which is pretty good for a pretty much stock factory rifle, but it is a bitch to clean. Always has been. The one I am most disappointed in however is a 5R Mil Spec in 300wm this is a pretty high $ rifle. Before I ever shoot it I had to send it back to Remington, they failed to finish the chamber. You could not chamber a round, they did get it back to me pretty quick 3 weeks. When it came back you could chamber a round in it, but upon extraction it came out with scratches you would have to see to believe, and was extremely hard to eject. This time I took it to my smith he put a match chamber polishing job on it, after wards it fed and ejected like glass, with pristine cases not a hint of a scratch. So off to the range I go, 6 shots later the factory ejector came apart. It now also sports a sako extractor, I had already installed a jewel trigger. It shoots fairly well but in all fairness I haven't really worked up the load I am wanting to using 215 bergers since they are harder to find than a snow ball in the Bahamas. It will clean up pretty easy, still not as easy as my krieger's and none of them are even close to shooting in the same ballpark as the customs. If there was not a market for custom barrels no one would be building them.... And we would all be shooting factory barrels. Just my $.02:) [/QUOTE]
