[QUOTE="PLHunter, post: 2072881, member: 107772"] I grew up in Morgan, Utah home to Browning’s USA headquarters and the original home before being bought out. My mom worked there and we ended up with some browning and Winchester firearms over the years. I’ve sold savages, remingtons, and rugers but never one of those brownings I have two a-bolts, a buckmark, and a BPS. The lack of aftermarket support is a self fulfilling prophecy. People who customize don’t buy guns because of lack of support and because those types don’t buy those guns those guns don’t get aftermarket support. It’s a shame. The actions are relatively amazing. Smooth, quick, tight, and cycle well. I have a buddy who just spent a small fortune for custom on what is basically a sloppy savage action... The action fits a million stocks but it sucks. I don’t get it. As far as accuracy goes my experience with 4 browning a bolts is that they shoot as well as remingtons or savages. Not better but about the same. With a custom barrel they shoot great showing that the actions aren’t the issue. My tikka is the only gun that shoots noticeably better than the brownings but we are also comparing creedmoor to ‘06 calibers. While they get a lot of flack and justifiably so for the pot metal you won’t find many guns that have been through more than my abolt 30-06 I got when I was 11. It’s been in a scabbard slammed against trees and drug through thick brush. Has deep scratches from Rocky rest on high mountain hunts but worst of all I got bucked off Only to watch the saddle come off and my gun get kicked about 20 feet in the air landing barrel first. Gun still shot straight and nothing broke. So yeah I wouldn’t let anyone peer pressure you into hating your browning. [/QUOTE]
