What do you think about them. Quality, accuracy? You hear reviews all over the board. How long have you been using them?

I bought one new in the early nineties, and shot it for ten years. It shot great, and had a good trigger.

I liked it.

I bought mine in 93 or 94. Still using it. Extremely accurate, reliable. Very happy with it. I just wish I has gotten a stainless one.

Mine is a 93 model 30-06. I bought it in 99 and it has been exceptional. Got a cousin and uncle who have several between them from 243 to 300 WM. Can't go wrong with an A-Bolt

I think I've bought one off another member on here. Suppose to get it tomorrow. It's a micro. I mainly bought it for my little, soon to be, 2 year old daughter. (7-08) Of course I'll get to carry it a few years before I give it to her. I'm a little concerned about having to take the safety off to eject the chambered round.(you worry about your kids). I think it'll make her a nice little rifle. Maybe it'll be a shooter. Be hard pressed to grab it and leave my Kimber Montana 7-08 in the safe. Who knows the little browning may surprise me.

Got an old a-bolt 7mag..Its scratched all to hell and back but is a very accurate gun.I've been hunting with it for years and cant recall ever having to touch the scope.I shot it before season at 100 yards 2 times and shot the same hole.

I own one in the 300 wsm. I have one with the boss system and it is the best gun I have ever owned and the only one I hunt with anymore. Ive owned many guns and this is far above the rest.

I have one in 7mm WSM and it is definitely a long range deer killing machine. Clean as a pin and never had a minutes trouble with it. My regular. Go to gun is a BAR and it has the same reviews. Hard to beat a Browning.

I've got a few and owned a few more. Every one of them were Shooters. My favorite is my sons 7mm08. Bought new 4yrs ago. Shoots 1in all day long with the right load. To the OP not sure about the one you bought or what load you plan on shootin out of it, but for years mine loved the custom SST and but this year it hated the superformance SST. Tried some other loads and found that it loves federal fusion 120gr. My 12yr old son shot a doe at 200+ yds a couple weeks ago. Drilled her right behind front shoulder and she went DRT. I like huntin with it cause of the short action. Feels almost like a youth model for an adult. Very light and maneuverable. I think you will be very happy with it.

I bought a stainless 30-06 first year they were offered in stainless, late 80's. I wanted a 7mm-08 but they didn't offer it. That was a fine rifle, killed a bunch with it.

First year they offered a 7-08 I bought one of those. I still have it, it's had a trigger polish job and has a 3 lb spring in it. It will shoot 7/8" at 100yds with store bought ammo.

I have a 7mmWSM, for Elk killin' and such..... good shooter as well.

Good guns.

Every one of them I have had shot great.


Do you want to hear him gobble, or do you want to kill him.

I've never owned an Abolt that wasn't a good shooter...
