[QUOTE="180ls1, post: 2582524, member: 123886"] 2 more stores and about a dozen more rifles handled (some repeats). I am heavily leaning towards a browning. - Savage 110 ultralight. That stock was making love to the barrel. Didn't care for the action much but seemed like it would wear in. That stock scared me and buying at that price point then throwing a stock on it asap killed it. - Weatherby something. Same thing, stock was eating the barrel alive at multiple places. I did like the monte carlo part though. Everything else was "fine." - Tikka - still nothing special but nothing bad either. I can see why so many like them. Great action. - Bergara 14. Still felt great. - Franchi Monentium. Not quite right, forend contact with the barrel and everything else was "meh." I love my Franchi Shotgun though. - Howa HS Carbon. I really liked that gun in hand. Wonderful stock, good action. Couldnt check the trigger. - Christenesen ridgeline. I really liked the balance of the gun given the weight. I am not sure if its worth the extra $$$ though? - Browning X-Bolt. It just felt the most comfortable. Maybe because its most familiar (which isn't a bad thing if I switch guns and still use the a-bolt). I also really like the shorter bolt lift and palm swell with the grip. I noticed the Browning Max long range has a vertical grip. It wasnt uncomfortable but would take some getting used to. Are they really that helpful? I could see it possibly hindering a quick shot but would it really help at extended hunting distances (600 or less)? [/QUOTE]
