    My son has a A bolt in 300 Rum and a X Bolt in 325 WSM and has had no problems with either. I think they are as strong as most other modern bolt action rifles.

    I think the biggest problems you have with Browning's occur when you actually try and do something with the action, like taking the barrel off.
