Well TRGs have gone up, and technically you can compare any rifle to any rifle because accuracy does not change regardless the cost of the rifle. 1/2 MOA is 1/2 MOA no matter how you spin it. Sure the m24 and custom rifles of the same quality guarantee accuracy, but if you reload there really aren't many rifles that just wont shoot SUB-MOA or not in my experience anyway. Does that mean i'm going to keep my 5R and not finish it.. no as i favor custom rifles far more than factory unless it's a TRG or AI. There are very few semi autos that can carry accuracy that bolt guns average easily. We're not talking a combat situation simply accuracy difference. And in those regards on average it goes to the bolt gun.
