The Browning X-Bolt is a nice rifle and is getting really good reviews. They tend to shoot exceptionally well. They are light and have a very nice recoil pad on them. I like the synthetic/stainless version.
The folks that have recommended the Tikka rifles have not steered you wrong. There is simply not a better bargain out there for a rifle that is guaranteed to shoot less than an inch right out of the box. Most of them actually shoot much better than one inch; they are simply amazing for the money. The Sako A7 guarantees a five shot one inch group out of the box too. They are a little nicer than the Tikkas and resale will probably be a little higher. They are running just over $500 on Gunbroker.com. I have been a Remington man all my life, but right now I truly think they are having trouble competing. The Ruger Hawkeye is also a really nice rifle. |

Heres the article. Only thing I see is that he should've maybe tried alternate brands. he did try several different grain rounds but all hornady. but still all in all browning should have at least looked into the issue. Cuz they lost a customer and that customer has put his experience out there and Im sure have affected the purchasing patterns of many more potential customers.
Oh and the people at browning told him they only guarantee their rifle to 2MOA at 100 yds. Heres the article: http://www.nodakoutdoors.com/forums/...hp?f=8&t=69585 |

I have the Browning A-Bolt in 7mm rem mag with the B.O.S.S which allows you to tune your rifle to the round you chose to use. Its black/synthetic topped with a Swarovski 5-30 x 50. Very clean rifle. Lightwweight and deadly accurate. Most Brownings come with adjustable triggers, which is nice. With a little bedding work and blue printing, Ive got this rifle at 1.25'' at 500 meters with hand loads. The only complaint is the muzzle pressure tends to turn people off at the range. It can be bad at times. Most def should have ear plugs at the range.
It's a great rifle. |

I just cant see that kind of accuracy coming from a non-heavy barrel, hunting rifle. I mean your putting a hunting rifle against guns that people pay $4000 for and getting the same results. I find that very hard to believe |

Heres my set up: I tuned my barrel which involves trying varying amounts of pressure against it at different points. Aka, shimming. I had it bluprinted, making all the parts that make up the action square and true to the bore. Had the trigger lightened up. You can get a factory Browning down to 18 ounces safley. A little experimenting with rounds and grains that work best. That's about it. It's not impossible. Quote:
