Not much can be done with a Browning Abolt except repair it...some gunsmiths go to the trouble of rebarrelling them and no one to my knowlege makes replacement stocks or triggers . Same can be said of the Tikka. If you have any experience with a WSM and reload for it and reload for another cartridge that is not a WSM or short mag you'll know exactly what I mean. WInnie looks good and the tolerances are tighter but it still weighs more then a Remington or Sako and that is a liability. Nonetheless if I run across a 338 win it is mine.
