RE: Priced out a new rifle the other day...
Aight, that puts the remington at around 650 dollars I'd say.
You can get a browning A-bolt medallion for around 700. This rifle is twice as accurate, has a floated barrel and bedded action from the factory. Also an externally adjustable trigger, looks better, and has a better feel to me than a BDL. Also, while being lighter, seems to kick slightly less than the same cal in remington BDL. I was die hard remington, then I bought an a-bolt, and I never looked back. Twice the rifle for about the same price. IMO it's a no brainer here.
