[QUOTE="shortgrass, post: 1900777, member: 24284"] This whole idea of a "custom" goes over 97% the heads of those who have posted in this thread. A Savage with a Criterion barrel attached isn't a 'custom', a Rem 700 with an after market trigger isn't a custom, either. Those are a "Mercury Comet with mag wheels". The offerings by Gunwerks and the others like them I would call "Limited Editions", much like ordering a car or truck. Ya' you can pick the color and the chambering you want (within limits!), but your choices are limited. I can't hardly consider a "custom" to be an assembly of off the shelf parts, either. There will be some, who go to Lowes or Home Depot and by their kitchen cabinets there and call them 'custom', even though there are 10,000 others just like them. A 'custom' rifle has had some serious alterations and/or additions made that make it one of a kind , and there won't be another just like it to be bought, anywhere. Is it accurate? You're darned right it is! Was it made to suit the guy paying for it? You're darned right it was! [/QUOTE]
