RE: browning rifles
I'm not saying the A-bolt is a dog or anything. It's one of the nicer production rifles out there, although I'm not crazy about the way the action and bolt are designed.You're right, you don't see many custom rifles made on this action. At least I haven't seen any.
I'dpreferthe A-boltover some other riflesI can think of, though. But for me it all boiled down to how it felt in my hands and I never could get comfortable with it. Just never felt right. I know a few people who hunt with these, though,and they're very satisfied with 'em.
