[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 784116, member: 2736"] With any factory rifle ,you can,t depended on off the shelf accuracy. If you buy one that is accurate you are lucky. There are many good donor actions that with some care and a good blueprinting are as good as anything you can buy. The next thing needed is a "Good" stock (It descent have to cost an arm and a leg) just a good well made stock with pillars installed or installed by the smith and a good bedding job. Triggers are another main item to look at. There are lots of good barrels and this is the heart of an accurate rifle IMO. If an action is trued,and a very good chamber is cut in a top barrel you have the makings of an accurate rifle with the other components mentioned. If one MOA is acceptable to you , a factory rifle will do ok with some ammo testing. If not a custom rifle should exceed your expectations. The main advantage to custom barrels are that they are not as sensitive to different ammo,s (They will shoot everything well and some exceptionally well. Custom rifles are not just pretty, If they are built right they can be downright amazing. If you build a custom rifle plan on keeping it, It is very hard to get your money back for it. (mainly because anyone willing to spend the money will just go ahead and have one built for themselves). Also most people question why the owner wants to sell in the first place if it is so good. As one poster said for $2,000.00 you can have as fine of a rifle as an 8 to 10,000.00 rifle it just wont be as fancy and have a big name on it. Just my opinion. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
