After lusting over them for 2 years, I finally did some horse trading and made room in the safe for these. Browning Hell's Canyon McMillan LR. One in 6.5CRD and one in 300WSM, with the idea of the 6.5 for the trainer, the 300 for hunting. I've shot the 6.5 100 times, and the 300 15, factory ammo only. So far they are both showing promise, especially the 300.
Both rifles nearly identical in fit and finish, both bedded from the factory. The short mag feeds very smooth from the mag (as compared to my rem 700, same caliber) so very pleased as I had a few frustrating moments while hunting (reloading for follow up shot) with that.
My only criticism is the stock trigger, which is quickly and easily improved with the Mcarbo spring kit, dropped both rifles to about 2.4lbs.
Anyway, I was on the fence for a while about going full custom or not, and these rifles basically came stock with almost every upgrade I would have done, so they really fit the bill well for me. If you're looking at these, don't hesitate, they're nice!
