[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1234603, member: 2736"] Very well said !!!!!! Every factory rifle has the potential to be good or bad ! All manufactures have quality control problems at one time or another (No exceptions) I recommend a two pronged approach to buying a factory rifle. Buy one that has a good stock (No Tupperware Please) and a medium weight barrel (Magnum to Sendero contour) and the availability of lots of aftermarket parts, and go shoot it. If it shoots well you have a winner. If it doesn't, then a re barrel is a good option (You already have everything you need to start with). Then later if you want to bed or add a aftermarket trigger to improve accuracy you can. Like it or not, there are some action designs that respond to accurizing better than others, and can be made to shoot extremely well. also ask a/your smith which action he likes to work on in the event that yours doesn't shoot. And just remember that any rifle can be a poor performer, Even the custom unless the shooter has good skills and feeds it good ammo. Don't buy the cheapest model of any rifle because they will have all of the cheapest parts and the chances are good that they will not shoot very well are high. The mid range will normally have the better parts and chances are better of getting a good one. Top of the line factory rifles normally have the same barrels as the mid range rifles but you will pay for looks and a few extra features that will have little or no effect on accuracy.
