J Bolt 7mm

I have had both. My first was a savage 111 in 270, great price, good accuracy, ugly, smooth as sandpaper. But it will get the job done. I wouldn't sell it for anything. Well almost anything. I stumbled on to a Browning A-Bolt Hunter 7mm RemMag that was dropped in the showroom there was a a couple small dings in the wood stock so it was reduced to 480$. I bought it and sold the savage. The A-Bolt is better looking 100 times smoother and does shoot tighter groups. In real world situations sometimes I wish I still had the Savage. In the rain with my climbing tree stand and rough environmental climates I focus on not diging up my A-Bolt when I should be worried about deer. I will keep my Browning for the rest of my life but my next rifle will be a Savage 116 ss/syn in .308/7mm-08 because I know there are accurate, inexpensive and if I do ding-um-up I reall don't care. What ever you choose I know you will be happy.
