[QUOTE="Deleted member 107796, post: 2026424"] IMO, in some ways they are, in some ways they are not. Old rifles like my 1950 rem 722 in 257rbts have a wonderful 24" barrel and not a single stamped component. The new rifles are sporting new urethane recoil pads that are game changers in taming recoil and mostly come with adjustable triggers that are not bad. Cost cutting is part of modern manufacturing but I think there are great off the shelf offerings. Conversely, I still see quite a few posts about problems with custom platforms and not every load with a high BC bullet or high twist rate barrel, results in holy grail accuracy. [/QUOTE]
