Ok over the years I have bought alot of savages remington and howas in bolt action I have loaded them with the rite combo and always got submoa groups no problem shot them just as good as a 5000 dollar rig I know people dont like to hear it but its true granted a 5000 dollar rig is easier to take shooter error out of the equation I admit but if you do everyrhing the same on the way you hold rifle pressure you hold the rifle with its sweet load they all have shot sub moa easily for me anybody have same results granted i think 5000 dollar rig equals way more solid platform to deal with.
There are lots of good shooting factory rifles out there. but percentage wise there are a lot more custom rifles that will out shoot most factory rifles because of the quality of the components and
the quality of the assembly.
Also you don't have to spend $5,000 to get a good shooting rifle, sometimes all you need is a good action trueing and a premium barrel installed by a competent gunsmith.(Under $2,000.00).
Some consider a sub 1/10 th MOA to be an accurate rifle and do not except 1 MOA in a custom.
I am not pushing ether the custom or the factory rifle. but in over 50 years of buying factory rifles and loading for them I have only owned two rifles that would shoot under 1/4 MOA (Most would shoot 1/2 to 3/4 moa and a few wouldn't shoot better than 1 MOA to 1 1/2 MOA no matter what
was done to them.
The up side to factory rifles is the cost. The down side to them is the odds of getting an accurate
one are slim.
The up side to a custom is it's accuracy potential. The down side is the cost. "BUT" One custom rifle
will replace MANY factory rifles. So are custom rifles more Expensive In the long run? not in my opinion.
This is just my opinion based on my experiences with both.
