while browning does make good rifles, there is VERY little, in the way of after market parts for them, not the best choice if you want to get into precision shooting. i wouldnt spend the $ on one thats for sure
Probably has a 1 in 12" or 1 in 14" twist too, which will limit you to max 60 grain bullets, and more than likely, 55 grainers or smaller. Not good also, if you want long range shooting. Get a stevens 200 and a boyd's stock (350 for the gun, 150 shipped for stock, Now , after you bed it, (most gunsmiths will do it pretty cheap) you have about 4 to 500 bucks to spend on optics. The stevens barrels are good, and they are 1:9" twist, so they will toss 75 grain bullets with stability, so all your long range needs are taken care of for the same cost. (plus, I love my Boyd's stock. The colors are amazing, and its hard and stable. )

Poke around. They show up used for less even. My local cabelas has one for a little less than that. There's a 243 in the equipment exchange forum too.
I kept my eye out for the better part of 8 months hoping to find a staggerfeed stevens in .223 I paid less than 350, but shipping made it 360 or so. Anyhow, they are out there, just keep money aside to instantly EMT. Or you'll never get one. Too many people want one. I just need to drop an aftermarket trigger on it, shoot it for a while, then send it away for a new barrel.
