[QUOTE="JAYgs8163, post: 2088327, member: 37460"] So if Remington, Winchester, and say Bergara build and hand assemble a rifle in their custom shop is this then a custom rifle, semi-custom rifle? Most of these have actions that have been worked over, better barrel lugs, better barrels, better triggers (after market) and bedded barreled actions. Or, does a independent smith doing the same thing then make it “custom”? I’ve got a Remington 700 Action on my 300 PRC. Sent to LRI and had it completely gone through. M16 extractor and dual ejection plungers added, bolt fluted, scope mount screws opened up, squared and trued the action, LRI lug pinned. I consider this a Custom Remington action but if Remington did it what’s it considered? Not to mention the other items I personally did to it. Bedded the barreled action, cerakoted all metals, Proof Barrel and Grayboe stock, 20 MOA rail bedded square to action. I consider this a Custom rifle. All that matters to me is what I have and not what people think I have. [/QUOTE]
