submoa, the brownings are just fine. i owned one and loved it. very accurate and well-made.
for some odd reason people here have taken to browning-bashing when it comes to the a-bolts.
i think you should go check them out and see what you think.

Those are the 3 rifles I would look at if I was flush with money, it would keep me from spending it.

I wouldn't buy anything new.
Too easy to make a much better rifle IMO, if you look and ASK those here who are in the know.
Better handles do exist....

i have been looking at the x bolt but the plastic parts it had made me stop thinking about the buy... so i looked at the model 70 and i didnt really like it so i started looking at the sakos and i love the finnlight and it is an overall nice gun from what ive read and heard, it is supposed to be one the best factory rifles and im not planning on changing it at all... what is a mcswirley?

I have failed to motivate Pvt. SubMoa, because YOU have failed to help ME. From now on, when Pvt. SubMoa fails to mention a McSwirly, I will not punish him. I will punish all of you. And the way I see it Ladies, you owe me for one mention of the Browning.....

It is a synthetic stock, made by McMillan. They are a high quality synthetic, that can be ordered in a blend of custom colors. The colors tend to "swirl" and since the company name is McMillan, the slang name for them around here is "McSwirly".
Take a look at the custom rifle section. I believe there are some photos of them posted there.

Remington's are pretty good too. Might be worth a look. For the money the Vanguards may be hard to beat. Don't settle though if you don't like them. Save to get what you want.
