Has anyone bought & fired a Browning abolt lately? I am looking to add another "longie" to the Biscuit chuckwagon. I am looking for a flatter shooting round than my 45 70. :-) I am considering lots of cartridges right now.... I like barrels at least 24" long and weight is not an issue. I like the lines of the Ruger #1, but not 8 pound triggers.

I like the way my Tikka handles that my son will be getting for xmas, but I have this dislike for plastic after toting an M16 (hoch-tui!) for 26 years so far. I realize plastic works but it is so UUUUUUUGLY!

Do those composite wood stocks ever separate like old plywood?
