I have 2 Browning A bolts one in 7-08 and the other in 325 WSM. I also own a Tikka T3 Lite in 30-06. So speaking with some experience with both I can tell you that both the Brownings needed some kind of gunsmith work to get to shoot to my satisfaction, The 7-08 need a trigger job and a bedding job, the 325 also needed trigger work. The Tikka had a fantastic trigger and shot sub MOA right out of the box. I like the action on the Brownings but when compared to the Tikkas there is no comparison. The Tikka is superior in smoothness. If I were to purchase another rifle today it would definately be a Tikka or maybe even an upgrade to a Sako 85.
