[QUOTE="vonb, post: 3895891, member: 2877"] I agree to a point. I too have custom actions, trued actions with all of them having custom barrels, custom work as well as some decent optics. These are custom rigs where a price point wasn't my primary objective. However, there's no guessing what they should do; I expect it for the money spent and they do it. What I enjoy is taking a factory rig and seeing what it can do and for a sub $300 rifle, the smile on my face is just as big (or bigger) than using my custom rigs. Will it ever be as smooth as a Surgeon or Borden? Nope. Does this action feel gritty and scratch brass? Yep. Will the Nikon Prostaff glass be as clear as S&B or Nightforce? Nope. That wasn't the plan here. This is a rig that was bought off of the shelf and put into use without having to worry about waiting a year on a 'smith or 6 months for a McMillan/Manners stock. My expectations for this are different than a custom rig...Lastly, a custom buy once, cry once rifle does not make the shooter. Practice and knowing your rifle does and this can be done with factory or custom. [/QUOTE]
