[QUOTE="azsugarbear, post: 1110466, member: 4809"] The most practical reason for going custom is the barrel. Factory offerings are a "one size fits all". Stretching length from 26" to 30" gives you more velocity. A standard factory twist will sometimes not stabilize the big, heavy bullets many of us like for long range shooting. Factory chamberings don't give you any control over throating (where bullet touches the lands of the barrel). Being able to seat a bullet long allows more capacity for powder in the brass itself. Beyond the barrel, you have better stocks, triggers, etc. If you ultimately end up putting these improved items on your rifle, you probably would have been financially ahead of the game to build from the ground up.
