I had an A-bolt but it wouldn' t shoot better than 2 MOA even after glass-bedding and custom hand loads. Sold it this summer after it being my first big-game rifle and using it for the last 6 years and bought a Tikka. The Tikka has a MOA (Minute of Angle = 1" at 100 yards) guarentee and sure enough it shoots great. Both are great guns, I just couldn' t get the Browning to shoot very well. The Tikka puts them under an inch all day long at 100 yards. Out West we get some long shots so it matters, my elk this year was ~350 yards and even a MOA accurate rifle that still gives you a 3.5" varience for a miss so you need an accurate rifle for around here.
