RE: Browning and Remington
I've owned and still own both of the rifles you mention. I prefer the A-Bolt rifle over all other factory bolts with Tikka being a real close second.
The magazine system on the A-bolts is a lil too complex, but it is very nice for loading/unloading and safe handing. The 60 degree bolt throw is also very nice, especially in cold conditions when you have big bulky gloves on.
