Dobber, would agree with what CZ said, once you buy a .30-06, you never really need another centerfire rifle unless you find yourself in Africa. The only Browning I have owned was a Stainless Stalker w/Boss in .243. I loved the rifle. I tended to trade a lot of rifles around in my earlier years, and it went away. It was a fantastic rifle, grouped well, no recoil, and ergonomically felt as good as any rifle I have ever owned. Would highly recommend the Browning's.
