I've had several Browning rifles in the past and never had ANY issues with them. Mine were accurate and fed well without fail. I just think most of it comes down to personal preference and growing up with a certain name brand rifle in your hands so you run into those guys... like my long time friend (loves Remington's). I've had numerous brand names so I can't fall into that niche. LOL
My gunsmith said they are easy to work on so that can't be it.
