[QUOTE="Savage 12BVSS, post: 1823682, member: 112413"] To me a 'custom' build means a couple things, a gunbuilder builds you a gun with parts they deem best and hand you a finished rifle ready to shoot. Or a builder does the job & parts you can't or don't want to do and they or you assemble it. You buy the parts you deem necessary to build a custom rifle and you assemble it with some or a lot of help. They all end up the same result depending on how much money you want to spend on project. Carbon or stainless match barrel? $250 or $700 stock? Custom hand made action or trued blueprinted factory action? Pillar or glass bedded or both? Builder going to work up a load or you? To me just like when I built racecars the actual hands on building, gives me a lot of satisfaction as well as a through knowledge of how it was built and how to work on it. Also for me its ALL about accuracy, some need expensive parts to make it special or coolness factor maybe high cost or a famous name to proclaim. Nothing wrong with any of this, but I just want a dependable rifle that shoots lights out. Action like silk? barrel clean with 2 patches? Others ooh and ahh when they see or handle it? That means nothing to me, but does it shoot unreal and can I fix anything that goes wrong with it...Very important to me. So a custom gun is different things to different people, what ever floats your boat or makes you happy. Each gun I build has a lot of me in it, I think that's why I never sell or trade-off any gun I build, it shoots first time or I get it shooting before long. Takes me a lot longer to work up a load than I could afford to pay some one that doesn't have a vested interest to do for me. But hey, its just a savage so I don't expect any coolness factor or high value, what I get is pride of what it can do to targets and game, and pride I built it with my own hands. Custom all the way.
