RE: another help me decide post: BAR vs. new Winchester Model 70
I went to do some shoppin around today. They didn't have that model 70 yet and apparently wont till next month. but i shouldered a few model 70s, checked out the BARs and then i picked up a Browning A-bolt and fell in love with the feel of it. The action worked (to me)smoother than the winchester and with less travel of the bolt it seemed. And I saw they have a mountain titanium model which is like 5lb and 8oz in the 300WSM, it has adjustable trigger, and a B&C stock. it's about $600 more unfortunatelybut they have the regular stainless hunter which is about a lb more. So the search continues now.
