I recently won this gun in a benefit raffle.
Has a Nikon ProStaff scope on it.

Anyone have one?
Or have an opinion about it?

Did you win an A-Bolt or an A-Bolt III? The III is an utter piece of shite. The A-Bolt is not in production anymore, so I'm assuming it's a III. Sell it immediately.

I really don't like Browning. They command a premium for an ok gun.

It black with a composite stock.

The AB3 is a piece of shite. Shitty magazines, lots of plastic parts, no Duratouch coating. There are much better budget rifles to be had

I have the A bolt in .270 that I got in college around 1994-95 and it's an absolutely beautiful gun.

Even if it is a POS, it's not like paying $10 for it hurt you. Just saying. I would never buy one, but I wouldn't say I don't want that POS if I won it.

I have a A-Bolt II Stalker with the BOSS in 270WSM. Its pretty accurate and a decent gun but I wont buy another Browning rifle because I feel the quality isnt there.

I also own a Browning Gold shotgun that fits me perfectly so I would probably buy another one.

My next rifle is a Sako 7mm Rem Mag and/or a semi-automatic AR-15 type rifle.

I want that rifle bad bad. Im even thinking about selling my Browning 270wsm rifle along with my old Remington 700 in 270 to get. Im thinking about going with the Grey Wolf though. I cant see spending another $500 on walnut. The real good looking walnut is another $1500. frick that, I will take a laminated stock.

I am partial to the Finnlite and Carbonlight (although I have never shot the Carbonlight). Grey Wolf is beautiful though.
