I recently handled one at Gander Mountain when on a business trip in Houston, TX. The gun handled well and balanced well. The chambering in the only one they had was 300 WSM. I do think do to the light weight the gun may not be very manageable under recoil. I do think that with a compact scope on the rifle you would have one awesome mountain hunting rig. A 5.5# rifle in 300 WSM with 180 gr. factory loads will have stout recoil and probably isn't for everyone. If you don't have a problem with muzzle brakes this could be an add on if you don't like the recoil. As with most Browning's the fit and finish was very good and I did handle a Kimber Montana that I would prefer the Browning over also in 300 WSM. I also like very much the feel of the Dura-Touch stock.

For Browning in general I've owned 3. A 270, 25-06, & 300 Win. Mag. of the 3 all were good shooters with my handloads and the 270 was a tack driver with Remington 130 gr. Core-Lokts out of the box.
