I inherited an Abolt about 20 years ago and it's the gun I hunt with... have shot a pile of critters through the years... and with a little luck I'm sure, they've all been in the 40-250 yard range.
When I sit down and work a load up and shoot it off bags at the range... I'm never impressed, but it's always been MOA... yep, Minute of Animal.
Well, I rarely think about buying another Browning... but after handling this "Western Hunter " today, told by Cabelas guyvits. "Shot show special"... it has a weird Camo that I like... an in line/flush muzzle break... damn fine feeling gun, easy handling... and the price was down right impressive compared to the few other guns I've been looking at lately.
Does anyone have any good knowledge of these rifles? The "western hunter"? The browning website shows them, I think, at 6 1/2 pounds. Not bad. They also talk about them being "1000 yard" rifles... at $775 I was sure impressed.
I also have to say the 700 Mountain rifle with the Bell and Carlson on it that Cabelas had in was a great feeling gun... also got my hands on the T3x SL.... yep... loved it too.
On the flip side, handled the savage 16 LWH and its handling and fit and finish, compared to the previous three mentioned guns... was SAD... the barrel to stock fit was horrible and the bolt was catchy... I still want one though...
