[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 253034, member: 2736"] There are a lot of different opinions on this and This is one subject that I have mixed opinions on. There are good custom actions and good factory actions so it all boils down to what you want and can afford. The advantage of a custom action is normaly they are machined very true ( But not allways and should be checked ) and are a one time expense. The disadvantages are custom actions require custom stocks that are quite a bit more expensive . ( A good laminate or composit stock for a factory action will run $ 200.oo to $400.oo dollars where the same stock for a custom action will start at $600.oo and go up to $1000.oo + dollars ). The advantage of factory actions are, easy to come by,lots of after market parts and plenty of good stocks to chose from at reasonable cost for the biuld and in the hands of a good smith can be made to shoot with any custom action with minimal cost. The main advantage to a factory action is that most people have a rifle that does not shoot and can be used as a donor to build a custom rifle on. As to the accuracy advantage of one over the other if a high Quality barrel is used and a good chamber and headspace are achieved there are no advantages one way or the other. Don't get me wrong I love the looks and feel of the custom actions and consider them a must for the realy big cartriges because of boltface dia. and length. But with standard cartriges they are not nessary . On a Custom biuld you should go with what ever you want and can afford ,after all it is a custom biuld and should be exactly what you want in all areas. Just my opinion J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
