RE: browning a-bolt
I own 2 Browning A-bolts, 1 in 270 and the other is a .204 hunter. I love both of these rifles and prefer browning over any other rifle or shotguns. They are accurate, and very well constructed. I also like the finishes to them over alot of the other gun makers. The magazine system IS NOT complicated at all. I like it because it is removable but when in the rifle it is inside to leave nothing sticking out. If anyone says the mags are complicated to use just don't know what they are talking about!! Go for the browning, after you shoot and own one you will be glad that you did!
