[QUOTE="600BP, post: 1117407, member: 22097"] Being the owner of remington, savage, weatherby, and winchester rifles, as many of us can attest to, a factory rifle is a factory rifle. What I am trying to tell you is no matter who the company is, with an out of the box factory gun, you run the chance of it shooting well or not shooting well. I worked in a gun store for some time and I can tell you for a fact that I have had rifles of every make and model returned for factory issues, and/or brought back for stock, trigger, or load workup. AND as it may anger some people ( I apologize ahead of time), if you want the weapon to be a tack driver, you may run into one or more of these issues I've mentioned above. It all really depends on what the owner defines as acceptable accuracy and performance. I've come to the point that if there is some new stick I want, I take an action, buy a barrel in the length I want, and purchase the custom stock I have in mind. I take all the parts to the smith and have him put it together for me. You can truly be at that $2500 mark and have a real shooter without having to worry about opening the box to a factory gun and wondering what you may or may not have spent your hard earned money on. With that said, take you project to a competent smith or you will have nothing but issues. There's plenty of competent folks on this site that will not steer you wrong. Best of Luck, Erik [/QUOTE]
