Default RE: Browning A-Bolt w/ BOSS compensator

We all have differing opinions and mine is not intended to offend. However, you did ask. Personally I feel the boss system is an unnecessary gadget. Oh, I know it does work but on a hunting rifle, how many want to be bothered? Any of the Winremrugs will give you 1 1/2 in. MOA out of the box and some will do much better especially if you reload and find the right bullet/powder combination. Being able to shoot a 1/2 group on the bench wont mean beans on a cold day in the bush from a sitting or kneeling position. As for the muzzle blast it is substantially more and will certainly damage your hearing in short order without real good hearing protection. This is not to mention how unpopular you'll be at the range or with anyone standing anywhere nearby. If the recoil is bothersome install a Pachmayr Decelerator. A poll on the Boss System topic/question would be interesting? gg.
