The shots on the "dot" seem to be near or under even 1moa and that is fine accuracy for a factory rifle in 270 caliber. Dealer friend of mine has association with outfitter group in Wyoming and he does stock the Browning A Bolt and X Bolt at his local store but not that much of a following here(WV) for the rifles, but tells me hunters out West favor those rifles. As for rebarreling the Brownings I understand that the thread pitch is super fine compared to others and can gaul easily if not very, very careful in doing so. Have never owned one of the rifles, but like I a need another rifle, may well check into one.

Mormons like them, because of their Mormon roots. Western Hunters don't really favor any brand. I own a ton of 700s, 1 77, 1 70, a Sauer, a Mauser and a couple Howas.

SOME hunters out West favor them and SOME happen to be Mormons. I'm a Mormon and don't like them at all so I guess it's not a "spiritual" thing after all.
I've been "blessed" to enjoy 700's, 70's, FN's, 99's, #1's, 15's and 1999's and you couldn't run fast enough to give me a Browning.... but that's just me and nothing really against Browning.... or Catholics, for that matter. LMAO.

Looking forward to an Alaskan Dall Sheep this fall. I've taken two when much younger and would feel there's an advantage now if I can get a rifle accurate out to 400-500 Yards. Since I don't do any other long range shooting, I'm looking to find a good rifle system without busting the bank. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
