Very hard to fault mine.

Here is my 308. It's made in 1990 according to the serial number.

My daughter has an A-Bolt II with the bolt handle on the wrong side in 7mmRM. She loves it. Smooth action, like the ergonomics of the tang safety (similar to her Savage and hard to accidentally catch it on anything) and very accurate.

im tentatively on the look out for them
Id never handled one till recently in fact it was one in the picture further up this thread and they are really nice, 60 or 70 degree bolt throw

Iv seen them come up for silly cheap and passed them up due to fear of the unknown

I have a Miroku M-bolt, which is the same as the original A-bolt but with a different pattern machined on the bolt. Was my first centerfire rifle. Still have it..nice rifles.

I have had 2 A11, 1 in 2506 regret selling this and my 300wsm which I have owned for 14yrs. Absolutely love them. Had the trigger lightened but that's it. Smothe and slick bolt, really like the 60 degree bolt lift.

I was looking at one and do very much like them....but I hear that they are a bitch for bedding

Nope had both mine bedded by two different people and no mention of being a pain, no more than any other bedding job.

Load my mates 223 with 55gr TSX. He cleans the barrel by shooting it.Mows down stags with regular monotony.Enuff said?

Had an early a-bolt prior to phone cameras so no photo to hand. Bolt was straight fluted by factory. I really liked it. Accurate. Mag could pop off floor plate which was nice touch. Trigger ok. Nice positive bolt lift...60deg so easy to mount scopes.
