The advantage of buying a factory rifle is, you have everything to start shooting. I haven't seen many Savage rifles that won't shoot. You may have to tinker with a load, but the rifles will shoot. Also, it is easier to sell a factory rifle than a custom built rifle.
Building a rifle also has its advantages. You will get a higher quality barrel, but expect a 4 to 6 month wait if not longer, unless someone already has the barrel in stock. Also, you pick what hardware you put on the rifle. If it were me, I would buy a stock rifle, and learn the sport with it. Then I would upgrade where needed.
