[QUOTE="Bang4theBuck, post: 2981005, member: 73596"] These sort of threads always bring out the extreme opposite opinions when it is left up to the person answering the questions. The question wasn't 'are custom actions better' it was 'are they worth it (the extra money). The first question, while not the one asked, can be very definitively answered without too much argument. The answer is YES, they are better. It's not even a debate. The second question is are they worth it. As stated above worth is on the eye of the beholder. For me looking back on the numerous semi-customs I've had built and a couple that I've paid to have built on Stock remimgton actions, it wasn't 'worth the money' in labor and time.by the gunsmith. The work was excellent work, but resulted in me having an additional 6 to 10 week wait for the build and I still had $800 invested in the action before it ever got a barrel. At the end of the day, I still just have a Remington 700. Make no mistake, I would part with these rifles as they are really really good shooters. But I would not go.that route again, given the wait, the net cost, and the fact that if was ever to have to sell the rifles, the value will not increased on them based on having all the work done. Heck, it doesn't really even qualify as a 'customer. It's a semi-custom. For some there is lessor worth based solely on that fact. Bottom line is 'worth' has got to be determined by the user, but I dont think I ever heard anyone say 'I've got a couple custom rigs, but I like my factory rigs more'. [/QUOTE]
