RE: Custom vs stock guns
While you can get a very accurate factory rifle the odds are better if you have a gunbuilder put one together for you using a premium barrel , truing and lapping the action, and doing a proper bedding job.I have owned two rifles from the remington custom shop(a model 7fs in 7mm-08 and a 40xbks in 6mm rem) and was very pleased with the workmanship and accuracy.I do prefer a total custom rifle where I choose all the components, but these two were considerably better built than most factory rifles.
