Default RE: Browning and Remington

I bought a remington and a browning together, at the same time, 16 years ago, and I love them both, but I will put it plain and straight.

The Browning is a much more beautiful gun. The lines are clean. The rosewood caps are a nice addition. It is very well balanced. It has nevermoved POI or needed to be sighted back in in 16 years. The bolt throw is very clean, and I for one happen to love the tang safety. Ilike the detatchable box magazine. It can be a butt every once in a while if I am hurrying to get it in the gun and not paying attention, but that is my fault not the guns.

The remington, is one tough son of a gun. It is not fancy, but it shoots and is very reliable. It has been a little bit unrulely before when I tried to change bullets, but it fell in line with my help and a little patience. The bolt throw is not as smooth as I would like, but I believe it is designed for function, not necessarily ease and / or smoothness.

So in the end, I guess I should put it this way. If you want you can spend a little more money an have it all, or youcansave a few dollars and get great function and shooting but not go after the looks end of the gun.

Good luck and good Hunting
