Browning Bar with boss
- Thread starter Silverstream
- Start date
What is the justification for the step up?
I am looking at a BAR as well, but 30-06, and really having a tough time justifying twice the price (or in your case, thrice) for some features that would be nice but never really prevented a BAR from doing what it does for the last 50 years.
Trying to both upsell and frugal-ize myself, very difficult decisions.

The BOSS system works, and reduces recoil. In a BAR, which is a relatively heavy hunting rifle, coupled with the cycling system of the rifle, it should make that 7 mag into a pussycat. - dan

When the Boss system first came out a buddy bought an A Bolt with Boss in 7mm08. I watched him shrink a 2" group to under 1/2" with the Boss tuning. Ammo was factory 140 grain Remington Core Lokt Express. The Boss does work!

I agree fer sure on the BOSS system. 
The Browning A-Bolt Stainless Stalker in 375 H&H I bought new yrs back shot very tight with Federal
270 gr ammo on my initial sight-in. The brake lessened the recoil a good bit but was super loud when shooting on a covered firing line.
I replaced the brake with the supplied muzzle weight that came with the rifle and it was the cat's arse fer my uses.

There really is no down side to that rifle. It's heavier than I would like personally, but they run like a sewing machine and are incredibly well built. There is also a BOSS CR that you may find out there which replaces the muzzle break part of the BOSS with a solid, fluted version. It accomplishes the same thing as the original BOSS, just without the recoil mitigation.
