Hello everyone,
I'm looking at purchasing an "older" (realitive term) Browning safari bolt-action rifle chambered in either .22-250 or .243. The rifles I'm looking at are of the late 60's and early/mid-70's vintage and I'm probably going to try to get one "NIB". I do intend to keep and yes, actually shoot the gun. I've done some research about these rifles, and I know that I need to make sure I get one that was not salt -cured, but I have a couple of other questions, and wonder if anyone can help me with them:
1) Are these good sub-moa shooters if I do my job? (I am a reloader)
2) Other than controll-round feed, is there a big advantage to getting one with a Sako action?
3) How are the triggers (assuming the gun is NIB or lightly used)?
Thank you all in advance for any feedback.
Best,
Heavy-D
