Are you saying that you generally agree with this opinion? Just curious.
I agree that there can be different opinions and requirements and feel that they both have there place. There are different degrees of accuracy and quality with all forms of rifle assembly. a straight factory rifle out of the box may/can be accurate enough to do what the owner wants at a price he can afford. the pre chambered and threaded rifle kits for do it your self'ers
generally have better quality components but they are still at the mercy of the machine shop that did the work and the only real difference. they are basically factory rifles that were assembled by the owner instead of the factory. The custom rifle has the best chance of having great accuracy because of all the elements that go into it.
What I think/require May be different that Others and the Video is just "His" opinion and the fact that I feel that a custom rifle Is better, I don't want to discourage others that don't need the accuracy Potential of a well made custom. As a builder, I have the advantage of being able to build from scratch and have complete control of all component quality, and assembly precision.so My take of this will be different that Others.
The difference in the two is the assembly of parts and quality of some of the parts used. the good smith will normally use only the best barrels and components only after he has gone through each to verify there precision and quality. I have gone down this road and found that the best chance of a sub 1/4 MOA rifle is with the custom. There are actually 4 different levels of quality and precision rifles the factory rifles, the customer assembled rifles, the customer assembled rifle that a smith has tweaked/trued, and the complete custom that was built and assembled by a good smith.
None of this will 100 % guarantee great accuracy, but the odds are better and the chances of a brick are almost zero with a custom. I still have one pre chambered rifle and will replace the barrel when I can. it is the worst performer I own, and a mistake on my part to try it because of time restraints.
We are also In a different country/environment and availability may be different than here in the US so the considerations will be different. I like to see ever side of an opinion to evaluate my own opinion and stance of a subject so I always consider other opinions.
Energy and time spent influence many to take the lowest cost or the fastest time and the custom rifle will loose this battle every time. but many times it is worth it and very rewarding to own a custom rifle.
My opinion remains the same, I will only own custom rifles That I build my self, not that I am any better than other smiths but I know what goes into it and can expect of it. that alone decides for me. others choose based on there wants, needs and finances. And the video should give them a good perspective of what they want and can expect depending on which way they decide to go.
