Browning vs. Remington Rifles

Redleg

Looking for a new deer tipper. Should I go with a Browning A-Bolt or a Remington BDL? I am looking for a great rifle: floated barrel, synthetic stock, great long-range accuracy, good trigger pull, etc. You know, something to hand down to my kids.Brian

Helloooooo??? Anybody out there?

I have an A-bolt in 7mm Mag, I love the rifle, has a 3-9X40 leo on it. Shoots groups of just less then 3/4 of an inch with factory ammo all day long. Picked the browning over the remington only because my dad has one and at the time I was living at home. Remington is a great rifle as well, I am sure I will pick one up here in the next few years. You cant go wrong either way.

Hey Redleg....I like both rifles and currently own both. I do prefer the Browning A-bolt over the 700 though. I like the shorter bolt throw (60 degrees as opposed to the 90 degree throw) and I like Brownings "wood" better than Remington's. In a world where there are so many good choices its hard to go wrong with either one. I do draw the line in the sand when it comes to Ford's....Chevy is the only way to go!! :-)

Browning is made in Japan and Remington is made in the USA. The choice should be easy.....REMINGTON!

Both are good, but I like the Remington a little better. I can't really say why, it just feels a little better to me.

Save, research, then buy the best.Join the NRA, NOW!Teach them young, teach them safe, teach them forever, but most of all, teach them to VOTE!

Both are good choices, my favorite would be the Browning Stainless Stalker, I like the short throw bolt and quick detach magazine.

Remington might be getting a bit cute with the "gun safety" crowd. Apparently they have just signed on something involving Smith and Wesson.How about a winchester?

I had the chance two shoot both side by side and I would go with the browning. (Actually I'll be buying one in 300 wsm shortly) The short bolt throw and the detachable mag are sweet.

I saw a Browning White Gold Medallion in .270 on GB auction a few days ago. I don't know if it's still there, but I thought that was one of the most magnificent-looking, reasonably priced guns I've ever seen. It was NIB and the current bid was about $850 (reserve not met). I was seriously thinking about bidding on it, but I just picked up a couple other new toys today, so I guess that won't be happening soon.You mentioned floating barrels. I bought a Sako Model 75 a few months ago and absolutely love it. It has some standard features that you may not get with the others you mentioned. I don't want to sway your decision about the Remington or Browning because both companies make great products and I'm very happy with the rifles I own from each. Just thought I'd throw in another you may not have considered.
