No way in the world would I pay the money for a custom rifle. First off I lack the income to get one, shoot I lack the income to get the expensive factory rifle's. You have a factory rifle that shoot's 1" groups, you have far more accuracy than required for hunting pretty much anything! American hunter's seem to see themselves more as shooter's anymore and less as hunter's. rather than get closer the want to shoot farther! Answer seem's to be spend the money on a custom rifle or expensive factory rifle. Yet I don't recall many people bragging about how accurate their Weatherby MK 5 is. But they will tell you what it cost. For myself I'll stick to my factory rifles, more inexpensive one's. Haven't had much trouble getting them to shoot very well and I'm not into long range for big game. I think at this point if I were a long range hunter, one of my factory rifles would fill the bill very nicely!
