Default RE: Browning A-Bolt or Winchester Model 70

Having owned both I prefer the Browning rifles. I like the features of the Browning better....tang safety, 60* bolt throw, detatchable magazine, lighter weight. I personally dispise the 3 position safety....it's loud, unnecessary and easy to bump off when hutning thick stuff.90* bolt throw is alright, but I don't like jamming my fingers in a fast second shot situation. Both are accurate rifles in my experience and either will kill game just as easily. I just simply like what Browning offers for the reasons listed above.
