Ooooh. That's pretty. What stock is that?
Thanks .... Brown Precision with sporter weight JC bbl. 7lb 6oz as shown.
I don't believe in luck, but I shot that little buck the 1st time I ever hunted with that rifle. I tend to keep guns that work like that.
Agreed! The Ruger I posted earlier in this thread was also successful in its first outing with me
My go-to is a Browning A-Bolt that I bought new in 1992 or 1993. It's chambered in .280 Remington and was sub-MOA right out of the box with factory ammo.
I never cared for the original stock; I replaced that with a Boyds Platinum in Claro walnut and replaced the trigger spring with a Timney.
It's reasonably light, accurate and fits me. I've bought and sold lots of rifles the last 20-odd years but that A-Bolt is the one I reach for.
154 grain Hornadys, either Interlocks or SST's, or 140 Accubonds, and max loads of H4831 will shoot MOA and kill anything I'm interested in shooting.
