RE: Is a Browning A-bolt Micro hunter to small
PBM - Check out my post on the Micro Hunter range results. Mine is a 325WSM.
I topped it with a Burris Short Mag scope. Its a great package. The recoil gets your attention but is tolerable. I put 100 rounds through mine this week and I'm not sore. Of course I use my sporting clays vest with a Browning gel recoil pad.
I think you will like your new purchase.
