Browning ABolt… is this worth the $$

[45C]

Hello
There’s a browning ABolt 7 mm RM for sale locally that’s been cracked in half.
Asking price is $390.
Is it worth it ?
I think all it needs is a new stock

I inherited a wood stocked A Bolt in 7mm Rem Mag from my dad. He bought it when i got him to start moose hunting with me. It was always quite accurate - if you can stock that one at a reasonable price, I'd say it's worth it.

You don't see a lot of aftermarket stocks for brownings available. Maybe boyds or you could try prophet river for a b and c.

I'd grab it.
My buddy has one and it's a great shooter

 

[BigUglyMan]

Depends what breed of A-Bolt we're talking about. A-bolt or A-Bolt II, definitely worth grabbing. AB3, I'm not so convinced.

 

[NAA]

Yes, grab it & then restock it.

-----------
NAA.

Is it worth it ?

do you want a 7 mag or just a deal on a Browning?

 

[Snider shooter]

Tell me where it’s at. I’ll buy it. Definitely worth it.

There is a site sponsor (who deal mostly in scandinavian imports) that has a A-Bolt stock listed on their website.

Thumbhole stock in the ee if it fits.

I shoot LH and I'd still buy that.

Cracked stock? there might be many more issues, like a bent barrel from a 4 wheeler overturning etc...

If it's only the stock, great.
You might find a stock for $200, but if a replacement stock goes for $500, then it is not worth it.

There is no way that composite stock broke that way without some other issue to the gun. I would not buy it. having said that I have an A bolt 1 and 11 versions. Great rifles.

if you do get it, check out WGP

I would pick it up as long as i could see in person to make sure the barrel isnt bent

Assuming it's only a broken stock, I'd say it's worth it. It won't be too difficult to get another stock for it. I think McMillian makes a stock for the Browning A-bolt. It'll cost a bit but it will be a better stock then a plastic OEM stock. And the 7MMRM is a fantastic round. Browning's usually have a 26 inch barrel so you can expect good velocity out of it.
