[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 1429657, member: 12995"] Browning builds a good rifle. I've had 2 A-Bolt II rifles in 7mm RemMag...The first got stolen in 2008, so I replaced it with another identical one around 2012. For hunting anything antelope/deer or larger, I strongly recommend the 7mm RemMag. The particular model you are interested in getting him only comes with a 1:9.5" twist barrel, which will not allow you to shoot much more than a 168 grain bullet. HOWEVER... The X-Bolt Pro Long Range in 7mm RemMag is offered in a 1:8 twist barrel, allowing you to shoot the entire range of 7mm bullets available, up to 195 grain Bergers. This would be the route I would go. Also, MSRP is only about $130 more than the other rifle you were looking at. [URL]http://www.browning.com/products/firearms/rifles/x-bolt/current-production/x-bolt-pro-long-range.html[/URL] [/QUOTE]
