[QUOTE="Finsta, post: 2240873, member: 119252"] Sounds to me like you would only be satisfied with a custom rifle and accurate dies for your cases. At the very least a Deluxe rifle. Personally my standards are likely lower than yours. If I get under an inch consistently with reloads or factory ammo I’m satisfied. But I won’t shoot at an animal past 400. One thing I can’t digest are the cheap stocks and magazines. Even though some are accurate, I like a solid bolt,not some floating bolt head. So no, your not bonkers. And the proportionally lower resale value of a custom is a reasonable consideration . After having issues with a couple of Deluxe (even though I love them), I’d like to try custom . I still may get one or two more Deluxes, but I figure I won’t go wrong with a custom. Depends how particular you need to be to be satisfied. Just an opinion. One more thing: get a decent scope for your rig. I’m not of the school that has to pay more for a scope than your rifle(or as much). I put $400-$700 Leupold or Zeiss scopes(duplex reticles up to 10 power) on my rifles . But again I won’t attempt more than 400 yard shots. If I get into long range shooting , then a BDC reticle should be good to 600. Anything longer and then I would get into $1500- $2000 minimum FFP scopes. Besides, my aging eyes would need all the help they can get. [/QUOTE]
