Are any of you using a locally custom made rifle for bush hunting and if so which maker
and how do they perform? The weight fell and performance of the Sako was pretty good
but Ive seen comments that for the out lay a custom rifle may be better?

Did you sell the 85 with the intention of building a custom or have something else in mind?

Personally I don't think cost should be a factor in your consideration when deciding between custom and factory.Custom's ALWAYS blow out in cost and in 9 times out of 10 you end up with an inferior rifle to a nice factory gun.

If you want something very specific that is not available in factory or you just want a project then that's cool otherwise buy factory.

I've been there and done that, WAY to many times, and I'll pretty much only do factory these days.
