Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles Browning Rifles???

I have A Bolt IIs in 708 and 270win and I'd buy another one if I found one for a good price no matter what round it was chambered in. I did own an ABII Medallion in 260rem that shot as good as it looked but someone made me an offer I couldn't refuse for it.

Somehow I got it in my head this was about their current bolt actions. Never owned one of those, but have two Low Walls that are permanent residents here. I’m always on the lookout for good deals on more, though goodness knows what for. Would like a nice SA 22 too, and maybe a BPR .22 or .22 mag.

Shotguns don’t get much play on this site, but Browning’s have been my favorites forever.

For GW......

Good Stuff!!!

Details??

Always interested in stories of porker perforation!

Missed that Steyr the first go 'round.............




Steyr Pro-Hunter, 376 Steyr

They are so butt ugly they are cool, and the one's I have are shooters.



Ten years ago they were the best kept secret out there, and one could sneak up on them for $450 to $750, but now the word is out!


As an aside,

I tell folks I operate within a "narrow band of mediocrity". Don't do anything real good. Don't do anything real bad.

At my advanced age, I'm not nearly as anal about getting sub-inch groups out of a "hunting rifle".

Then take into the fact that the pigs I hunt are constantly moving. From the time my brain sez' to "trip the trigger" until my finger does, the bullet exits the barrel and impacts (hopefully) on flesh, the buggers can move a foot or two.

Good question. Since it's likely to be bargain priced due to its RAR quality, I might be interested too. 🤔

The Xbolt is not RAR quality at any level just very similar in design. Truth is it has some very good features superior to others models available. I wanna love this rifle, just a little raw I got one built on Monday.

Given the number of these rifles that appear on the shelf, perhaps it's just a matter of time when the aftermarket follows and gunsmiths become more familiar with making them shoot.

GW, my Steyr was 500 out the door used and so ugly it would scare the paint off of a used car. The 2 things it does well are shoot and work every time. Aftermarket for this is nonexistent unfortunately also.

Price very reasonable Tech, no interest in it around here. If I can't sell, going to see if I can get it re barreled in a fast twist 280.

10/4.

A few more things I like. The SBS system, Bolt lock on safe and their two stage trigger.

ya!

I am always interested in "investments that shoot".

PM your way.

Best,

Not wanting to start a pissing match but what are some of the design similarities?

Other than removable mag I cannot think of anything else similar.

Hey now GWB...stealing my potential purchase eh?

With ALL the Browning experts here - I have a question. Are the stocks for a 7-08 the same as for a WSM??? A Bolt 1 & 2 only. I can't get past the looks of a 3. I have a 7-08 Micro with a standard stock on it and standard mag boxes. I'd like to buy another SA (Medallion preferred) and use this wood on it. Then I can go back to a Micro stock and mag on the 7-08.
