Rifle: Browning A-bolt, reviews, opinions?

[375er]

I love a success story!

I had no doubts.

 

[NIGHTHAWK]

I had no doubts.

Probably why I'm having a hard time with the idea of selling mine. Shoots too good to let it go...

Then keep it!!!

 

[mark-hunter]

For those who doubt. Food for thought: I never sold a rifle, or a pistol. They just accumulate in my locker.

 

[NIGHTHAWK]

Probably will and give it to a good kid I know that wants to start hunting. -A good friends son, he's 16 and a Right handed shooter... Rifle is RH and I'm shooting LH Rifles now... Although, that Browning killed a lot of animals being shot LH because it is so accurate. Rarely needed a follow up shot!

I’ll start that kid on Bob’s favorite .243…

 

[NIGHTHAWK]

Ok. I’ll start him on the .22-250!

 

[NIGHTHAWK]

Or .223…

@NIGHTHAWK
Please DON'T. At least start the poor kid off with something that will actually work. Something like the new 6.5 sweede aka 6.5 creed more.
At least he will have a soft recoiling rifle that will actually work on game.
Don't be a mean bastard and give him a 243. Get him a 6.5 creed at least.

Bob, he'll have to sport a manbun to have the 6.5 Crudmoor and drink Bud Light. Not so with a .243 WINCHESTER. He can sport a mullet and drink Bundy. LOL

Or .220 Swift.

@CoElkHunter
That would be better than hanging your head in shame saying you were given a 243.
Poor kid will need counselling for years to overcome the fact someone hated him that much

I'm late to the party. My .375 H&H is insanely accurate, like same hole accurate at 100m. The confidence it gives me is worth gold. It's quite a snappy rifle, I fitted a Fryer & Devik silencer which made it an easy shooter and didn't lengthen the barrel too much as the barrel mounts halfway into the silencer. As other have said the 60 degree throw is great, the big benefit is it keeps your hand away from the scope when racking. I will never sell this rifle.
