RE: Poor quality firearms straight from the factory.
For over a decade, I was so used to getting a rifle, shooting, being unhappy, then taking to the gunsmith for the typical fix' s, trigger, free floating the barrel, and glass bedding. I always stayed away from the brownings cause I considered them " Jap junk" . Finally a guy had one for sale for a steal. So I picked up this Medallion in 308Win, and was pleasently surprised. No work was needed. Barrel was floated perfectly, I liked the 3 lug design, trigger was nice and crisp. Accuracy is great. And its design is very nice. (Beside the crappy safety). So I guess I have changed my ways. I have had about every brand, and this is one that is worth the money. I like the sakos and Tikkas, but cost a bit more.
