    I am looking into to buying a Browning rifle. I was wondering if anyone had any comments on the different A-bolts. I am trying to decide between the standard, classic hunter, and medallion.Thanks,Hitman

    Hitman you cant go wrong with any of the Brownings, all so take a look at the BLR I have one in 308 that shoots 1/4" gropes at 100 yards, I love it, it's easy to carry.

    I have a Browning A-Bolt Composite Stalker in 300 win mag with the B.O.S.S. muzzlebreak. I can put 3 shots in the same hole at 50 yards with the scope onn 14 power and it groups around an inch at 200 yards. It is the most accurate rifle I own out of 2 Rugers,3 Remingtons, and one Winchester. I would caution you about the muzzlebreak due to it producing excessive noise. This is not one to be shot without ear protection.

    Browning rifles are great. I don't think you'll find many people that will disagree. Your needs and probably your budget are the keys to your answer. I prefer the medallions, specifically the white gold medallion, but you're limited in calibers offered and also availability. I've become very partial to Browning's looks of their high gloss walnut with stainless steel. I don't mean to sound like an advertisement for Browning, but I got my white gold .270 in January and I'm sure I'll never get rid of it. It was well worth the extra money. I noticed a couple here on GB lately for a nice price, too.

    I just got a Micro Medallion in 22 Hornet and surely this one will be mine forever. I sure do like a Browning.
