[QUOTE="lancetkenyon, post: 3099243, member: 68875"] You know, I can see the draw of higher end factory rifles that are half the price of full customs for a lot of guys who want a nice rifle but don't want to go all-in on a full custom. But, I have seen quite a few $2-3k+ factory rifles that are very hit or miss. Christensen, Fierce, Seekins, Bergara, Weatherby, etc. Most have been returned and had work done to them and sent back, only to barely get better. A 1 MOA "guarentee" is definitely subject to interpretation. If the manufacturer tests it and gets a single 3 shot group into 1 MOA, that meets their specs. Honestly, most full custom rifle builders don't give an accuracy guarentee. But, I have only seen one (that I can remember) full custom that just wouldn't shoot well CONSISTENTLY. It turned out to be a bad barrel. It was replaced and instantly was a quarter MOA rifle. [/QUOTE]
