RE: browning rifles
Brownings overpriced? Not at all, they are very accurate dependable rifles. I think the White Gold Medallion is the most beautyful rifle you can find in that price range ($1000).
Most A-Bolt rifles go for $800 or less. Sure you can find more affordable rifles but it all comes to what you want and how much you want to spend on it.
On caliber, the 7mm Rem is one hell of a shooter, flat and hard hitter. But if you're hunting in a heavy wooded area I will go for the good 'ol 30-06.
Just my 2 cents......
