[QUOTE="nksmfamjp, post: 2430137, member: 1951"] This is hard to post. I have several full custom rifles and may have more built. That said, I have a nice lightweight Ruger M77 that is a legitimate sub moa hunting rifle. I had a factory Savage 12 300 WSM that made 0.6 MOA groups easy. I have shot a friends Savage 12 308win that I could always shoot 3-5shot groups under 1/2 moa. My custom rifles all shoot fine, but I have had some terrible groups during load development.…like 1.5”. Still, best groups were always sub 1/4moa….so, I guess…. If a guy is looking for a 0.75moa shooter, should they go custom, or shoot and develop a great load in a factory rifle? From the viewpoint of accuracy, what am I missing? ….or is it really about everything else in a custom rifle? [/QUOTE]
