[QUOTE="remingtonman_25_06, post: 300606, member: 1403"] I agree 110% I'm not exactly wealthy so even semi customs are kinda a long wish list away. I also love to work up loads for different rifles and over the years friends and family have figured out that if I cant make it shoot with a trigger job and handloads, then something is wrong. I've also got to play with a lot of rifles over the years for free, but they've been mostly all factory rifles. A lot of Rems and Rugers with a few Winchester and Savage thrown in the mix as well. I say that a good factory rifle, with a trigger job and handloads, with good scope/base/rings at the minimum should do 1" 3 shot at 100 yards. I typically look for 3/4" or better from my personal rifles and really strive for 1/2". All the factory sporters in my room right now will do 1/2" with there preferred loads. I"ve made 1 shot LR kills on deer and elk out to 915 yards with my tuned up factory sporters. I also have access to shoot to as far as I want 10 minutes from my house. Nothing replaces practice. I've never had a problem getting any Rem, Ruger, or Winchester to do 1" at 100 yards. The only factory rifle I couldn't get to shoot worth a darn was (2) identical savage 270 WSMS my dad and I both bought. I think we got the only 2 lemons they produced that year. I've only got to play with three customs/semi customs so far and 2 of them have been awesome for accuracy so far. The other one I'm in the process right now, but I know it will be a shooter. I think a custom rifle will generally just shoot a wide variety of loads better and do it a little more consistently. [/QUOTE]
