Well, all things must be weighed. What is the ratio of guns sold to guns returned for both makers? I'll bet the ratio is the same and I'll bet that remington has sold more rifles than browning. I dont know this for a fact, but it stands to reason. Now, I have an ADL in 30-06 and have put about 400 rounds through it. It is just dandy! No issues here, but a pal of mine has a browning a bolt stainless. He wouldnt trade it for the world! Is his better? It looks better! EJ
