RE: to BOSS or not?
I own a Browning Bar II Safari in .300 Win. Mag. with the BOSS system.I got it to shoot 1" groups at 100 yards with 180 grain bullets. When I took it hunting for the first time for Axis Deer, I ran across a herd of 10 - 15 animals. I shot the first one and was so stunned by the sound that I couldn't shoot at another one even if I wanted to! I purchased the "CR" BOSS also but have not shot the gun with it yet. If it works anything like the ported BOSS (minus the muzzle blast!) I am sure I will reach for it more often. With the ported BOSS its just plain punnishment to shoot it without hearing protection!
