Default RE: Browning BOSS system

Hi Everyone:

This post has some great information, and I thought I would add the following:

1) Browning, et al, does not sell the BOSS with a real shoulder thumper.When they start selling them at .416 Rem+, recoil reduction becomes important. If you need recoil reduction with a .270, I'd suggest the rifle is poorly fitted.

2) The BOSS WILL COME LOOSE. 20 rounds a year won't do it, but if you shoottwo or three thousand rounds a year, buy extra bushings.

3) The CR and muzzle brake DO NOT have the same POI, but have the same adjustablility.

4) My .300 win mag shoots at .30-06 velocities, which is consistent with what you would expect with a 2" shorter barrel, about 300 fps slower. The shorter barrel counts ALOT to the reduced recoil. That isn't in the catalog though...

5) The video/brochure about "dialing in" is terrible. For the .300 Win, they list sweet spots for a few factory rounds, but NOTHING for more that 50% of the available bullet weights. Where do you start???

6) Someone said they were interested in the .300, it is still available...
