Yeah for me it was about reducing the risk of getting a non shooter.Yea, it's amazing to me that although Wal-mart now sells rifles that will shoot sub-MOA all day long for $400, people will still pay 20 times that amount for a rifle that shoots 1/4 MOA better and doesn't weigh any less.
If our economy has been in the tank, as some would have us believe, you could never tell it by the price people are willing to pay these days for toys.
Hey, we're all guilty to some degree. I could get by with a $400 Ruger American that shoots just as good as the rifle I'm building, but I don't want a Ruger American and I can finally afford what I want.
It still happens.
I'm out of town 18 days or more a month for work.
Have to do chores, scout, be prepared to go on any tag, Archery, muzzy, rifle.
I've had rifles i had to chase to get to my minimum standards.
I just do not have the time energy or desire to be messing with stuff that much.
If you factor in my time and additional ammo/components cost it just much more efficient for me to just buy a nice custom rifle.
And after talking myself into it I absolutely love it.
I just copy the dummy round sent with the rifle and it just does what its supposed to.
