[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1235099, member: 2736"] This has been a long standing debate and will probably never be agreed upon. the facts are simple. A properly trued factory action will perform with any custom action. It may not look as nice or have the features but from an accuracy standpoint it is just as good. The cost break down for each. I will use a factory Remington rifle for the example because they are the most abundant . A complete used rifle = $400.00 to $500.00 No bottom metal or magazine is needed because you already have it on the rifle. I will add a aftermarket trigger because I would recommend it on any factory action. other items are optional based on what a person wants. Total = $540.00 to $640.00. + $125.00 for blue printing for a total of $665.00 to $765.00. The cheapest custom action I could find was $750.00 bare and with the floor metal and mag box you have to add another $350.00 plus the trigger $140.00 the total minimum cost will be $1240.00. almost $600.00 dollars more just to get to this point. depending on whether or not you buy a Remington clone you could have to buy a custom stock, inleted to fit the action which will raise the price even more. The only justification for buying a custom action is that it is what you want, the price can end up being double a well built factory action. I have nothing against ether action and recommend that if a person want's a custom action they should buy it no matter what the cost. Just don't expect it to out shoot every other factory action rifle around just because it is a "Custom" action. PS; Even the custom actions need to be at least checked to make sure they are true. (They are machined the same way factory actions are (CNC) and are subject to have problems even though normally the QC is better), It does happen. In this sport, you don't have to justify anything all you have to do is pay for it. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
