I've always been a Browning fan, mostly due to being introduced to them young by enthusiastic family. I like the A Bolt I have, safety position, 60 deg bolt, fit/finish, accuracy. But I'm aware I'm a "fan" and don't have a basis for comparison with other manufacturers.
However I notice when reading threads about builds, Rem700 and Winchester70 actions are always mentioned, but I never see Browning. While I in NO WAY want to know folks opinions on Remington 700 Vs. Winchester 70 (!! ), I would like some of your thoughts on how Browning stacks up, why is it never listed as something folks are looking for?. Bolt actions only. ALSO, I had thought the X Bolt was an improvment on the A Bolt, but have recently read it was a cheaper to produce version... so, any thoughts on A Bolt vs. A Bolt II, III, and the X Bolt?
Thanks much! (And if anyone feels compelled to compare Savage, Tikka, etc. feel free).
