I've been really impressed with several factory rifles the past couple of years:
1. Barrett Fieldcraft - light done right, great parts put together very well. The #2 contoured cerakoted special run is exactly how I would have built one as a custom.
2. Seekins Havak PH2 - sporter weight long range rifle - same deal as above, great parts put together very well
Those two are more expensive than most factory rifles but for an off the shelf rifle they are both top notch.....actually they are top notch when compared to a custom rifle.
Looking at others, the Havak Element and Sig Cross should be really neat off the shelf rifles. I'll likely give the Cross a try mainly because of it's adjust-ability to see how it works with kids..
None of this was a cut on custom guns, I've just been impressed with the design/parts/build quality/performance of the two I mentioned.
