[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 1127376, member: 12995"] The Browning A-Bolt and A-Bolt II actions are excellent for building off of. They are super smooth, and have a nice short 60* bolt throw. The only reason you don't see many of them being used as customs is because 1) aftermarket accessories are very limited, 2) the removable internal mag box is kind of short for seating long bullets near the lands, and 3) most people seem to be scared of them because of the internet BS about smiths destroying the actions when trying to remove the barrels...My smith said my A-Bolt barrel popped right off just like every other rifle he's worked on, but it did require slightly more force, because it had some sort of Loctite-type substance on the threads. I like my A-Bolt II custom so much, I have debated on finding a cheap A-Bolt II .270 or .30-06, and build my .280 AI off of it. [/QUOTE]
