[QUOTE="Duhawk, post: 2054975, member: 63335"] My experience is build....I bought a complete upper (won't say where), lower from a local smith. Shot some factory loads, and was really disappointed. I'm experienced enough in reloading so I tried several different bullet weights, powders etc, and not much of an improvement. Bought a new higher end barrel, changed out the trigger, and suddenly it went from being a truck gun (my smith calls them that) to a very nice shooter. Custom guns are on the market, ones who guarantee sub MOA...but I learned a lot just from taking the time and building my own custom....thus far I've built 3 (.308, 5.56, Valkyrie), and the time and $$ saved was well worth it to me. Btw. My hobby is bench shooting with my 6.5-06AI....so sub MOA (1" at 100) really didn't impress me either....all 3 of my AR's do better than sub MOA. [/QUOTE]
