What may I ask is a pulled barrel?Hammer forging,button rifling and cut rifling are common types of rifling,but I have never heard of a pulled barrel.

Never shot the Browning, but I did recently buy the Tikka T3 lite in a .308 Winchester and I love this gun!!! Very accurate!!!! And that factory trigger is awesome right out of the box!!Mine's a keep for sure, and with the way it shoots at 100 and 200 yards, it a dead deer for sure!!

Hey there,
I have no experience with the Tika but, I do have an A-Bolt in 300WSM. It's been very accurate and reliable and is an absolute joy to carry. I put a Timmny trigger spring in the gun ($20 something) and now have a great trigger. If I were to start over, I would do exactly the same thing.
BTW, for me anyways I find the detatchable magazine to be a non-issue. I think that it is something to accidentaly lose...
Good luck. It sounds like they are BOTH good rifles.

I have both the rifles you are looking at. I would chose the A-Bolt over the Tikka. many think that the mag system on the A-bolt is "over-designed" I think it is perfect. What more could a guy ask for? A mag that allows top loading, swing it open and load it, or swing it open and pop it out an load it. The 60 degree bolt throw, and bolt are smooth as glass, the trigger isn't the greatest from the factory, but are easily adjustable.

The Tikka does come with a MOA guarantee for 3 shots at 100 yards. It has a silky smooth bolt, and an adjustable trigger that can be made into sweetness.

If it was me making the choice, I'd opt for the A-bolt mainly because it fits me better than any production rifle, and mine shoots lights out.

So just how many lights have you shot out with your rifle?

Just 1 or 2
