A-bolt? A-bolt II? AB3? X-bolt?

I know Tikka is the preferred overall rifle of the OB, but I really like the looks of the Browning. Hoping I can find a decent one with nice bluing and pretty furniture. I'm ready to step up from my budget rifle.

The x-bolt with a maple stock is very pretty.

I've always been a bolt action man, but BAR's are sexy.

I've never been a Browning fan but the older A bolt medallion is a fine arse rifle. The new x bolt is nice as well, I feel like they should shoot better than they do (I've only shot 2) but they are nice.

Out of everything they make, I like the T bolt best

I feel like green jeans wouldn't appreciate me hunting with that.

I was under the impression the T-bolt is a rimfire. Is that correct?

I just recently purchased the X-bolt eclipse in 7mm. Havent shot it yet so so all I can say is its a great looking gun and I cant wait to get out on the range with it.

have one in .270 for a long time now, sub-MOA all-day with good ammo. 200 yds is no problem with decent glass.

I've had one for two years and have yet to shoot it.

Got on a new lease last year and didnt get to go one time.

Bought a new box stand a year ago and havent even picked it up from Academy.

I wont work nearly as much this year as I did last year but I cant get motivated to hunt anymore for some reason.

My original A-bolt bought when I was in high school (86-89) so 30 years old is still the finest rifle I own.

I bought a buddy a X-Bolt with the synthetic stock chambered in 30-06 for his wedding present a couple years ago and was shocked at the recoil from that rifle when we went to sight it in. I have both an A Bolt with wood and one with a synthetic stock also chambered in 30-06 and they both have dramatically less recoil than that XBolt.It just flat out would jar the fillings outta your teeth with every shot.
