RE: browning a-bolt
Some of us do not like to admit this, but most people like clipsbecause it makes road hunting easier to do safely. Let's just be honest - are you really going to carry a double stacked rifle clip in your pants pocket? Don't fall, 'cause you will find out what it's like to leave part of your manhood on the hill. Maybe you were refering to your coat pocket instead - I hope so.
Now that I got the none P.C. stuff out of the way, the assessments regarding the fast change clip insertion of a Browning are spot one. There is nothing quick about them.
If memory serves me correctly, Remington does make a version of the Mountian Rifle with quick insert clips, and it is a clean design to.
The Brownings have good barrels on them, and you should not have any trouble finding over the counter ammo that will shoot sub MOA groups for you.
