[QUOTE="etisll40, post: 651562, member: 15229"] I have several Brownings and they are fantastic shooters and built for quality and durability. I'm lucky in that my experience with them is that they shoot fantastic out of the box. On both my cheap 223 Abolt varmint and my Eclipse-1000 in 7WSM, which has fantastic fit and finish, I'm hard pressed to improve them. The only things I'd like to see from Browning is for them to adopt a barrel swapping method like savage as Browning barrels are hard glued and it takes real knowledge to get the barrel off the first time without damaging the gun. After that you can rebarrel a fine action. I like A-bolts as that is all I have right now. Secondly, triggers, you can only work their trigger to where you want it, no jewel upgrade option. I wish Jewell would make a trigger for Browning A-bolts and Savages too. All that being said, if it were to happen and Browning makes guns like my A-bolt Eclipse-1000, I wouldn't build another custom rifle for hunting and target shooting. They are super quality typically. Remember, their parent is FN and owns a bunch of gun companies and sells around 50% of all rifles in the world. Long live FN and John Browning... [/QUOTE]
