browning abolt 30-06

[meat]

hey guys, i was wondering what you guys thought of browning abolts? I prefer 30-06, or a .308. Or if you know of some other freakin sweet -06's let me know.

 

[HOLY DIVER]

everybody loves them ummm i had an a-BOLT in 300wsm i grouped pretty good just not as good as i thought it should for the money i spent on it.....i sold it bought a 700 it groupes awsome

700's do the work in my arsenal. And I own every major mfg including high dollar Sako, Cooper, Weatherby stuff. When I want something simple, familiar, accurate, reliable, with the best triggers(Jewell, Timney) to use for competition or hunting it's usually a 700.

I have an A-bolt stainless stalker 30-06 and it groups very well. I'm quite happy with it. Paid $700 for like new and that included a Leupold VX1. Its been my foul weather elk gun, and have never had a problem with it. My fair weather bolt gun is a Tikka 695. They both shoot comparable groups, a little under MOA.

 

[Berol]

Though I don't own them all, nor I have I shot them all, I do own a Remington 700 SPS, with the detachable magazine, in .30-06.

It shoots well (better than I can). I'd purchase another if something happened to mine.

I love the A-bolt rifles. I have 5 total. My favorite is a 270WSM in A-bolt Composite Stalker. I personally like the feel of the Browning over the other selections. However, they are all good guns. Pick what fits you best and works for you.

 

[Duelist]

Remington 700, Ruger No. 1, or Winchester '70.

 

[surjimmy]

Love the Abolts, but for $459.00 NIB you can't beat the Tikka T3

 

[TIMC]

The A-Bolt is a great rifle. I have one in 30.06 and it is one of my favorite hunting rifles. I sold my model 700 in 30.06 after I bought my A-Bolt.
Don't get me wrong, I liked the mod 700 a lot but the A-Bolt was a very nice upgrade.

 

[Loggerlee]

For what use?

 

[Matrix187]

Cz 30-06. CZ makes a great accurate rifle with a mauser action. You can't beat a mauser action in terms of durability... They also come stock with farely good triggers.

I didn't vote, because, well I like them all! I own an A-bolt in .243, a 700 in 7mm-08 and a Garand in 30-06 (of course). I'd love to own one of the others as well. My Dad has a Springfield 1903 which is a family heirloom. I'd say get what fits you best, they're all good rifles.

 

[hossdaniels]

Browning A-bolt is my perfect hunting rifle. Its light, accurate, and reliable. It points fast like a good shotgun for me. The 60` bolt throw is nice. Mine is a 270, but there aint nothing wrong the 06 or 308.

 

[md7]

nothing wrong at all with the a bolt, but make mine a 700! grew up with one and still do all of my deer hunting with it. it is more accurate than i am. it is the mountain rifle with detachable magazine in .270 win. great little hunting rifle.

 

[meat]

i have shot a browning abolt 300. I agree, that browning does feel nice. I would just use this for hunting, here is the picture of me with that abolt.

 

[Duelist]

A Bolt is made in Japan too btw

 

[HOLY DIVER]

well there u have it nobody is realy bashing any of the rifle makers you listed ......by what fitts you !

 

[meat]

ok. my friend is a ****, and says not to buy an 06, but a .308 instead, should i listen to him? or say to hell with it.

That is more than enough fodder to get a good caliber war going.

My take is that it doesn't make any practical difference whether you choose the '06 or the .308 - it really boils down to which one you can get the best deal on and whether your already reload for one or the other.

 

[meat]

yah, my dad is big into reloading, and has all the gear for it. How much generally is it, just to buy it though? Compared to .308

 

[Ohio Gun Guy]

"For the money" = remingtion IMO. Although, I would LOVE to see a nice 1903 parked at my house some day.

 

[paintballdude902]

for the money.......MARLIN XL7 done finished its awsome i love mine and there are guys shooting just over .5 moa (.56" at 100 is the best ive heard so far) on a $300 rifle with handloads

 

[jmr40]

Of the rifles you listed I voted Vanguard, and would say Remington with a close 2nd.

I actually like the Ruger best, regardless of value for the money. Tikka would be 2nd then Vanguard and Remington.

 

[meat]

I have a question. What are the restrictions that obama will be putting on guns? is he just gunna take them all away? or will he just jack everything up.

 

[jimmyraythomason]

Since the question included the phrase "for the money" I voted for the Weatherby Vangard(Howa). All of the choices are excellent choices but the Vangard usually costs much less than most of the others. As to the Browning A-bolt,I had two of them,a .280 Remington and a 7mmRem.Mag. Nice rifles.
