Is it not a custom and won't shoot with the customs that I have seen but I don't feel like paying an extra $2k for that last 1/4 moa. </div></div>
Buying a MOA or "sub MOA" rifle these days isn't difficult. With new metallurgy and more consistent machining and manufacturing processes, good "out of the box" rifles are the norm more than the exception as in the years of past. When you get to the extreme of 1/2 to sub half MOA yes you are going to pay extra for that last 1/8-1/4 MOA. The reason why is because to achieve those results consistently require a true Master gunsmith like those at Gradous, Surgeon, APA, GAP, Tac OPS, etc... You are paying for that experience and attention to detail that requires that near perfection that cannot be achieved through mass production as in Remington or Savage. Yes these two make wonderful affordable everyday man rifles. But when you want to push a rifle and it's ammo to they're max effective ranges and your max abilities, or if you use your rifle in your proffesion, then that extra money can be difference between a trophy or even more precious your life.
