Browning A bolt?

[AllenJ]

A friend and I purchased A-Bolt Stainless Stalkers in the early 90's, his in 7mm Rem Mag and mine in 300 Win Mag. I used mine until around 2010 when I finally decided it was just to much recoil anymore. Neither of our rifles ever failed and both shot more than better enough for hunting. 3 shot 1 MOA groups were normal with my rifle and my handloads. For hunting it is a fine rifle and I would not hesitate to get another if the right deal came along.

That's pretty typical of most A Bolts I've seen, even with factory ammo once one finds a load the rifles like.

I don't understand why so many seem to dislike Brownings when they are one of the most accurate out of the box rifles on the market.
