RE: Browning Micro Hunter
 

I have a Browning A-Bolt lightweight stalker in 308. It shoots very well and I would think that any of the three calibers would be fine. I think the short action would be the way to go but I could never recommend against the 270 either. Sounds like a good problem to me.:D

Duck, thanks for the heads-up. I didn't realize that all the WSM's had the same smaller stock as the Micro Hunter. I'll have to shoulder them again and see how they feel!

duck - FYI got the info from a browning dealer/gunsmith who does alot of work on Brownings. And anyway, 1 1/2 - 2 MOA is very respectable accuracy for a hunting rifle. But thatisn't acceptable to me - at least not in a good quality bolt action like the Browning. I like my 7-08 Micro Hunter especially now that it meets my standards.

I also have a browning micro hunter,but I have it in .270wsm. I like it a lot, it is nice out of a treestand,and the short cartridges are also the way to go.I put a sims limbsaver recoil pad on it & a timney replacement spring(which is real easy to replace)and is real sweet to shoot.

I wasnt refuting your comment, I was just curious. Thanks for the info.

Its the WSSM's the WSM's are actual Micro hunters, the Wssms have the same stock but arent listed as Micro's. I dont know why but thats how they have it.

Yea I looked for a couple months at the Micro's I really wanted a 243Wssm in a micro and couldnt figure out why they didnt make that little gun in that caliber. So I sent Browning a message and they let me know that the Wssm A-bolt Huntershave the same stock as the Micro'sexcept the Wssm's have a 23" barrel. They are more expensive then the standard caliber Micro's though. The cool thing is that with the 23" barrel the Wssm is only 39.75"'s long and the 7mm-08 with a 20" barrel is 39.5"'s long. Very close for 3" longer barrel

Walmart(the store from hell:D) has the standard micros for 549.00
and the Wssm Hunters for 649.
