Why would you think that? I've heard Dakota actions, Jewell triggers, sako barrels, and HS precision stocks. Sound pretty good to me. Only thing is they are about 8 lbs which is pretty heavy in my book, and I dont like the detachable mag. Funny you mention the Winchesters, I've got my eye on the synthetic/stainless model. As for CRF, its not as much as an issue to me. Another model I was looking at was the non-cataloged browning with the stainless barrel and duratouch stock in 30-06. Not a fan of the short mag junk. dont really care about the camo, but I dont like the stalker stock either. they seem pretty cheap to me..
Rough Action and Poor QCamong other things. I would imagine Beretta will still work on it and get parts for it. Browning A bolt is a system rifle that holds no value for me. They are great shooters but nothing about the gun willconvince me to buy one. The short mag junk works...just have to have the proper rifle chambered in it and a Model 70 is not the candidate.
