Is a custom rifle worth it

[adoc65]

I own a rifle that is a very good tool, in the proper hands. It’s only as good as the d!ck behind the trigger.

That all falls apart under real world situations

Most anyone entry to mid level who has shot matches should learn real quick that they are the limitation if they have properly functioning (read: not necessarily “the best”) gear. When I’ve seen people with legit gear issues at matches it’s typically because they didn’t do their due diligence validating a load (too hot or had bad velocity data), had a new barrel speed up, had basic gun assembly issues, or their gear actually did suck.

That’s the biggest value to matches IMO. You are measured on the clock and have to leave your comfort zone.
