i guess i should have stated that i allready have a browning a-bolt that my gunsmith worked on. he put a krieger barrel on it for me. all the browning rifles that i own shoot very accurately. i just like custom guns. oldelkhunter said it all....there is a chance it wont shoot any better, but after my first browning project i like my chances. the thing that i dont understand is why everyone thinks it is so hard to customize a-bolts???????? my gunsmith said he rarely works on them but they are not really any trouble after you get the barrel off!!!!
