Browning A-Bolt vs Winchester 70 in WSSM

This is a no brainer as I am sure the Browning will outshoot the Winchester any day of the week. Who else feels it is the better action to handle the super short mags?

I don't know about the short mags but my 270 a bolt will shot 1/2 " goups all say with factory ammo.

You know I love the completed A-Bolt. But I love a mod70 action much better than a browning. I like the CRPF winchester has out and wouldn't hestitate to say it would perform as good as a push feed with spring loaded extractor from browning. All the ones I have shot in WSM hasn't had an issue. And I have been looking for it on the winchesters. Accuracy is so so on US repeating arms in WSM. Some are incredible, some are horrible. Seem to come in two different varietys only. All had rough barrels. I have not loaded for a A-Bolt in WSM. But can't see a reason why the action won't cycle the sharp shoulders.

Pretty funny out of the last 5 Model 70's I have owned 7mm rem 338 win 300wsm 270win and 7wsm . The cheapest one the Super shadow in 7wsm was the most accurate and had the smoothest action. Now I had 2 300 wsm/s one in a Model 70 SS classic and the other in a SS stalker browning and the browning fed smoother and was incredibly accurate. These new WSSM cases are so squat looking they look like they wouldn't feed right in any gun.
