Remington 700 or Browning A-Bolt?

Browning

I have used both the 700 and the a-bolt. I think the a-bolt has a real advantage in the blind removable magazine. It is much easier to load and unload quickly.

I have owned both and like both. My opinion is to make your decision based on what you intend to do with the rifle.

If you are looking for a nice rifle, good shooter out of the box and no intention to make a project out of the rifle, then the A-bolt is probably the way to go. My experience was similar to the poster above, that mine was more accurate right out of the box than the Remmy.

Howevere, if you are looking to make the rifle the basis of a project, then the Remmy is the way to go. There is a ton of information, after-market products and people who can work on them and tune them to get the most accuracy and durability out of them.

Browning--everytime.

My experience with Remington has been poor---the fit and finish of recent ones has been upgraded----but I'm still afraid to buy one because of the ones I've had in the past------Remington does have the best feeling stocks though---love the thinness of them---the accuracy issues have me real leary of buying another one.
