Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Custom Rifles & Wildcats How big a hit

Seems like parting out sells quicker and probably a little better money.


Biggest hit is probably the barrel and anything that was "smithed" like action truing...unless done by a known reputable Smith. Stocks, actions, triggers etc usually move quicker than a custom rifle...as long as they are desirable.



Unless a custom is in front of the right buyer, you're in for a big loss and likely a long wait.

I missed a custom built on a trued 700 a couple weeks ago... literally everything I was about to build almost down to the details. It sold for just over what the stock cost new....and it was for sale since December.
