[QUOTE="richhymas, post: 2240806, member: 43504"] These are factory guns with hand loads. The savage model 12 they sell at Cabelas for under $500 is a real shooter. The stock os cheap, the mag is cheap, the action is cheap, but the gun really shoots tight groups with hand loads. I have owned several calibers. That said, I built my first custom gun and as long as I have the money I will do it again even if the 100 yard group is the same. The gun feels more secure with precision components. I don’t want the bolt to wiggle or the magazine to rattle or jam. I want the stock to feel rock solid. That’s what you are paying for. And with a hand lapped barrel you will have less fowling and better extreme spread which will translate to better accuracy down range beyond 300 yards. edit- to clarify, I can get this gun to shoot 1/2-3/4 MOA pretty easily.
