Stubblejumper, true it can be said about anything. (Ford vs Chev, etc) Thank god we are all not cookie cutters, and look the same!

However while researching and looking for a new rifle, I found it hard pressed to hear much bad about the A-bolt. Well for that matter the 700 or Tikka either. But what I was looking for being a southpaw, they can't deliver. Browning can and I have a number of choices in caliber. Honestly I haven't seen their DM, so can't comment. I think the saftey on the A-bolt is great, right where I want it. What it always boils down to is preference and in my case handicap(Left eye dominant). I think that if Browning is willing to produce rifles that work for me, instead of forcing me into a pump, semi or something I don't want or need, then I will support them.

I don't want to start a p#ssing match, just my thoughts. Plus like I said in my originsal post I have seen no difference in price between the 700 and A-Bolt in my ventures, so just giving the guy some more choices.
