I owned a boss equipped rifle and will never own another.The boss reduces recoil but is extremely loud.I find that with the right load my other rifles are just as accurate as the boss equipped rifle was.Boss equipped rifles also have shorter barrels so they produce less velocity than the rifles without the boss.As far as the a-bolt is concerned I much prefer the 700bdlss detatchable mag as They have a simpler quicker magazine and don't have a tang safety which I find awkward.I also prefer the 700 trigger.
