I've never owned a autoloader before, only bolt actions and lever guns. But the Browning BAR has me intrigued. Can anyone comment on how it compares with a bolt action design in terms of accuracy and dependability? Just to give you an example design to compare too lets say Weatherby Mark V or a Browning A-Bolt. Is there a signifigant downgrade in the accuracy on the BAR as compared to one of these bolt actions? Is the BAR more prone to mechanical failure in the field compared to a bolt gun? Thinking about getting one in 300 Win Mag or 7mm Rem Mag, either one with a boss. This will likely become my primary deer/elk rifle, semi-retiring my sporter mauser and my savage 99. Thanks in advance for your input.
