[QUOTE="dmj, post: 2242494, member: 73479"] The question was, How do you explain custom rifles? Lots of the people on here would understand, you probably don't even need to explain to them, they already know. And then you have to try and explain the scope. To a good share of people they aren't going to understand why you would want to spend that kind of money on one rifle and scope. When you can get one that will do the job for a fraction of the money. Now for the most part I'm just a hunter and will be the first to admit that most of my shots are under 200 yards, but it sure is nice to have the confidence in a rifle (and yes you have to put the time and practice in and have consistent ammo) to figure that you could make that 800-1000 yard shot. And please understand that I'm not saying that there aren't a lot of over the counter firearms that won't shoot lights out. It was several years ago I purchased my first one. I have 3 brothers 2 of them thought I was plain crazy. The other one shot my rifle a little and was impressed. I told him about a custom rifle on this site that I thought would be a very nice hunting rifle. He ended up purchasing it. To this day he still hasn't forgiven me for it. Because he says it just plain ruins most other rifles. It's a rifle that Joel Russo built in a 308 Bauer. He loves that rifle. So at least now I have company in the crazy pen. 🤪. [/QUOTE]
