So I'm really curious how much different this gun will be from a fully custom. I'm looking at getting my 338 RUM customized with a new barrel and stock, trigger, etc... I'd save like $2,000 just buying this guy.
If you shoot the first one you will never get that true trophy.

So this gun is a factory gun.  A fully custom will have an action that is machined to more precise tolerance.  If you look up the definition of blueprinting an action that is basically what a custom gun will emulate.  Everything as square to the boreline as possible.  The biggest difference between this gun and a custom is the barrel.  The barrel that comes on this gun is ok, but there are much better barrels out there.

I am planing to buy this gun in 30.06.
The 300 is too much recoil for me.
I have a 700 VTR in .223 and I like it.

I am a left handed shooter but have shot right handed guns all my life.
