[QUOTE="nksmfamjp, post: 2711089, member: 1951"] To me, it is all about the influence I had or could of had in the build. If I buy a pile of parts and ship them off to be built, write a spec to be built or develop a spec by conversation to be built, those are all custom rifles. If I buy a package rifle that I can change up, that is still a custom. In my mind, what makes it custom is that I can turn my shooting and hunting experience into a next level build. To me, the most important part of the whole rifle is the chambering and how it will be cut. For now, I have not bought reamer, but I can see that I probably should be. That is really the only way to cut the same chamber twice, if that is important to you. I also like the controlled standard that something proprietary like the Sherman chambering are. I suspect a 28 Sherm Mag from 2 different gunsmiths are much closer than 2 28 Noslers. After the chambering, I value the ergonomics a lot. When we get behind a rifle, it’s ability to fit us an help us function at our highest level is a big deal. Just picking a stock without really digging into its dimensions is a waste of time. You really need to handle a lot of rifles and understand what dimensions you prefer! The ability to select the chamber, stock and balance of a rifle are very important to me in custom. [/QUOTE]
