[QUOTE="Brad Quarnberg, post: 2868027, member: 107866"] To say all guns from one manufacturer are crap, or all from a certain manufacture shoot lights out is simply false. I am as passionate about my hunitng and my guns as the next person. I currently have 2 Browning xbolts and love them. I've owned many other xbolts and abolts and all shot sub moa when I did my part. My brother and his friend have also had many brownings and bought new hells canyon LR's in 2021 in 300WM. They tried their pet load from the previous 300WM's and couldn't get them to shoot moa. Sent them back to browning who said they were acceptably accurate and sent them back. My brother took his to a gunsmith that shoots competition and after looking at the throat, the gunsmith said it looked like there'd been 2000+ rounds through the barrel. He's replacing the barrel. His friend had his barrel replaced, shot the pet load and its sub .5 moa. I am more inclined to get a gun that I like the feel and looks of, and as long as it is a shooter I'll keep it. Hence my 300WSM in a model 70 coyote outback, 270 WSM in a model 70 classic (pre FN), my 6.5 creedmore in a Tikka T3x, my Browning xbolts in 308 and 6.5 PRC: I could go on but won't. I love guns with a short bolt lift so Browning and Tikka are always guns I'll look at. I recently purchased a Tikka T3x in 7mm (new) and ordered a 7mm PRC barrel for it. In my experience, Tikka's don't feed belted mag cartridges very well (get hung up on the belt when coming out of the mag. Decide what features you want, then look at manufactures that have those and sub moa guarentees and buy what feels right to you... BTW for the money you're talking, you should look at the gunwerks werkman. My 2 cents [/QUOTE]
