[QUOTE="Jon Bischof, post: 2634583, member: 879"] By the time the gunsmith cobbles together all the tinker toy pieces you have collected, you have spent twice the money it takes to buy a new rifle that will shoot as well or even better than your self customized Lego-amalgam. And people "say" accuracy is the most important thing, but at that point one can see it is more about the process than the outcome. But folks enjoy the building so much that in their mind it is worth $3,000 (more or less) to end up with a rifle that may not shoot any better than a factory rifle because they get to choose all the components they like. Ironically, some of the most elaborate builds are done by folks who couldn't put 3 shots into the same hole at 50 yards if you handed them an Anschutz 22 LR . Just pointing out what we've seen.
