Handled two today, synthetic and wood and they felt pretty nice in hand. Has anyone had any experience with them they care to share? I am most interested in first shot repeatability. Probable caliber would be 7/08 (if so chambered). | ||

I have only handled one as well, but I liked it. The local shop was very impressed with the thought that went into the design of the rifle as well. But so far they have only received 2 of them from Browning, and this is a shop that sells lots of Browning. LWD | |||

I handled one at Sportsman's Warehouse. I was impressed that the bolt throw was 60 degrees. You can cycle the bolt fast. If I just wanted a rifle to hunt with for my lifetime, and not be an heirloom gun it would be better than some. The trigger is very good, and makes me want a new model 70. | |||

Shot an -06 last week at the range, like a lot of A-bolts, it wasa uncanny accurate straight out of the box, with factory ammo! I'm talking sub moa, EASY. I've seen it with a lot of Brownings, folks don't seem to think they are quality, but they often seem to shoot well, at least their bolt rigs.....I liked the stock geometry BTW. | |||

I am impressed with the design. But I don't like the look. It makes me realy want a look at the new model 70. Its probably not a problem for a lot of guys, But I prefer a hinged floor plate to a detachable mag , and i would rather have a real steel hinged bottom , than the lighter pot meatel on the browning. But the trigger on the X-bolt and the bolt design imakes me think the rifle would be lights out acurate...tj3006 freedom1st | |||

After thinking about it a bit, I don't think I do either. They seem almost slightly futuristic. LWD | |||

It's not a Mauser or a pre 64 M-70 Win. and therein lies the problem... Ray Atkinson Atkinson Hunting Adventures 10 Ward Lane, Filer, Idaho, 83328 208-731-4120 rayatkinsonhunting@gmail.com | |||
