Browning is one of the best available. Smooth action, accurate, reliable, excellent trigger and they look good too. The cost is a little more than a Ruger but IMO it' s a little nicer rifle. Also look at Winchester and Tikka both very good rifles.

Judson, Are you sure you don' t have the A-bolts mixed up with the 710? I' ve never heard anyone claim that Browning has the strongest action but it is more than strong enough even when shooting hot handloads. In my experiance, out of the box, the Browning action is smoother and the trigger lighter and more positive than a Ruger.
