I always was in the boat of not being able to justify the cost of a custom rifle due to my factory gun killing everything it shot at. However, I finally bit the built and had APR build me one about 3-4 years ago. I can honestly say I don’t believe I will ever buy another factory rifle. For me, it was about putting together exactly what I wanted... from color scheme, to fit, to cartridge, accuracy, etc.

Why do you shoot custom?

The Customs I have are because I wanted a gun in calibers that were or at least were not available in any factory offering at least at the time.
Some are just simple as change the barrel to a caliber not available or what many call semi custom rifles. A couple are custom fitted stock to me and the rifle fully fitted to me. Other customs are some others had built to their specifications that came up for sale and i really liked what ha been done.

So I don’t wanna worry if I’m gunna break something or if POI has changed. I like to plug and play as we say. So why do you shoot custom guns?

In the end you can get the satisfaction of having exactly what you want and knowing your hands built it.

LOL That's why I built this .243 on a 40X action, it's a 30" 1.25" 1:7.5 twist Krieger. It's getting to heavy though these days and I am thinking about cutting it down some.

I had a similar rifle build. 700 action, 1/7.5 Krieger 28” heavy varmint, tight neck 243 Win. It’s my 1000yd coyote rifle.

I have 3 custom/semi custom rifles. Accuracy, repeatability, knowing the smith/company stands behind it 110%, having it just the way i want it, different fluting patters and paint options.
I absolutely love the way my customs look. And i am 100% confident when i line up for a shot.
.plus i like having bad@$$ toys.
