[QUOTE="Darryle, post: 2722756, member: 109917"] Think of the overall number of rifles Browning has sold versus the actual number of failures, the chances are miniscule, then look at their track record of handling these actual failures. While you hear reports that some were not satisfied with the outcome in their situation, I am also willing to bet that the story you heard isn't the full story. I have had several instances of Browning standing behind their products. The new A5 3 1/2" gun was a huge ***, spoke with service, they took it back and replaced it at my choice with a 3" gun, no issues, same with an early Gold 3 1/2" gun, replaced with a 3" at my request. 3" Maxus that the stock would shoot loose in 100rds of sporting clays, they replaced the stock, same issue. I took it to a certified Browning gunsmith who solved the issue with a slight modification of the hardware used to attach the stock to the receiver and didn't charge me. A-Bolt Medallion 308 that would not shoot anything factory under 2", they replaced the rifle with the same version, shot ragged little holes with a variety of factory 168gr and 175gr ammo. The key piece of the equation is: reloads. I have no qualms with a cast receiver, but I prefer good old steel. [/QUOTE]
