[QUOTE="adam32+P, post: 2710590, member: 117982"] So what makes a custom rifle different than a semi custom and different than a factory rifle? Most people think a custom rifle is buying an action from X manufacturer, a barrel from Y brand and a stock from Z brand. Then misc parts from others while having a random gunsmith screw it all together. Voila, "check out my custom rifle!" Is it still a custom rifle if you do all of the above but buy a chambered/headspace barrel from manufacturer Y and spin it together yourself? Companies like Bergara, Fierce, Christensen etc make their own actions, barrels, stocks etc in house but most don't call those custom rifles. What is actually "custom" about a custom rifle? Maybe every once in a while one will have a slightly different chamber compared to a SAAMI spec reamer. How does a mass produced Bergara action differ from a mass produced Defiance action? If you take a Christensen Ridgeline and drop it into a McMillan is it now a "custom" rifle? Rainy day boredom pondering. [/QUOTE]
