Thread: Browning x bolt

Its a gamble as to what you get buying sight unseen. Some you win some you dont. Its just like buying a 4wd on trademe....alot of time you buy some elses problems

Dont buy a heap of shite remington and you are far less likely to be buying a problem.... theres a rule to follow

An extremly cheap brand new cdl turned out to be the most accurate.shoota ive owned after a fiddle lol

Probly.80 percent of the L/R custom builds in nz are on rem700's
So thats not a good rule either.
Least they dont have plastic fukin.bolt shroud.

An extremely overpriced brand new CDL was one of the most depressing turds that I have ever had the misfortune to own...

No plastic bolt shroud on it - just plastic fake "cross bolts" and a plastic fake "ebony" fore end tip. And as for custom builds - Both my Rems needed fixing (sorry thats customising these days isnt it...) out of the box. Never had the need to modify any of my other rifles to get them to work.

Anyhoo - hard to find a story about a bad a-bolt, cant think of a single one recently?

Hmm I was wondering about the A bolt, I've got one here in 270 @the moment. It has heaps of room in the mag to touch the lands with 150vlds

Bloody phone.!

I like the finish of the A bolt and think its a well functioning rifle.

Just my limited observations

I wonder if you sold it to me?

I emailed the guy I bought it off for "CHEAP" and said it wouldnt shoot....

I got a real apoligetic type email back offering to take me hunting and all this lala...

I emailed back and said that a 2 second job of adding extra forend pressure made it do 1/2" groups fairly consistantly..

He kept his hunting offer open at which point i decided he was quite a decent bloke lol... as id have pulled the same trick too

I've got a couple of A-bolts, and have thought of changing to a X-bolt, curious to know why people are saying they're a "down grade" though???

Have a soft spot for Brownings
