The Browning system works OK, but if anything goes wrong it's much easier and cheaper to find 98 parts.
One thing I don't particularly like about the Brownings is they use the same contour barrel for all the magnum rounds. This is fine with bigger-bore cartridges, but it makes the 7mm and .300 magnums pretty heavy. Of course, if you're going to rebarrel the action anyway that doesn't matter, but darn few people buy Brownings just for the action!
