[QUOTE="Long Time Long Ranger, post: 662277, member: 505"] After the French company bought winchester and browning years ago the quality of both went to crap. It is a poor hulk of what it once was. The other factors are aftermarket parts for the remington and the resurgence of savage during the late 90's building extremely accurate factory rifles that are easy to rebarrel. Also many just don't like cutting the extractor groove in the barrel for the winchesters which means a gunsmith has to do it and the average guy can not rebarrel. several factors. I shot an old model 70 action over the weekend rebarreld in a 240 WBY and it is one of my best shooters. That was then and this is now. I will not under any circumstances rebarrel or build a rifle off a Browning action because i do not want the liability for the cheap metal in it. i love the old model 70 actions but will not touch the new ones over the past 20 or so years.
