I keep seeing custom build threads for max distance that many factory rifles are very capable of, why spend the extra money on a custom if max is 500 yards and you’ll be shooting factory ammo? Am I missing something? Having not shot much factory ammo out of my builds, will it shoot better in a custom, personally I don’t think so but I could be wrong?
Also I’m not judging just wondering as I built my custom and semi-custom to shoot high BC bullets that no factory rifle or few factory rifles come with fast enough barrels to shoot, zero factory loaded ammo options, long enough mag boxes and should be .5moa or less due to quality of machining but I’ll also need to reload to squeak out every bit of accuracy and efficency from what factory ammo and rifles don’t offer.
Also why not just do a semi-custom over a full custom with just a rebarrel, stock and trigger on a factory rifle? My semi-custom Howa is just as accurate as my full custom but was half the cost. Have we as a group sold people on customs when a custom really will not be an improvement?
