[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 1797883, member: 30902"] If you get the right rig put togther from the right pieces and parts by someone that knows what they are doing you get about as close to perfection as one can achieve. It also gets you there in one step vs buying a factory rifle adding a stock, trigger, bedding and all of the little extras we throw on in search of itty bitty groups and consistent first shot cold bore accuracy. I've got both and I've even got some factory rifles I never did anything other than floating and bedding and maybe adding a MB. Everything we do to customize a factory rifle adds our own personal and unique signature to it. When you build one from scratch though, you're putting your personal stamp on all of it and it is a reflection of who you are as a shooter/hunter at that time. Now, let it not be ignored that factory rifles in general are better today than perhaps at any time in history due to modern production tech but not even the most expensive, highest tech milling and lathe units are capable of the kind of precision that is done with hand fitting matched pieces and parts together to come up with that really special custom rig. Honestly if you add up all the pieces and parts from stocks to triggers to rails etc that we retrofit an average rifle trying to get all we can out of it, the cost of most customs starts looking more and more reasonable.
