Ha, Im a remington 700 man, the only beefs I have with brownings are the fact that very few aftermarket parts are available and their damn chambers are tight.

The chambers are on the tight side. Don't reach in the old pocket and drop a bullet in the chamber with lint on it....
I like the Rem. Custom shop AWR, but for that kind of money, I could have most any rifle I wanted.

The price of Browning rifles is also an issue with me. I can build a semi custom 700 ADL for the price of an A bolt.

I don't know how much customizing you can do to a 700 for around $700 but from my experience they need about twice that before you have something worth shooting. Tom, you are beyond educating. You are a slug-gun hunter for crying out loud.. From this moment forward, you will be known as slugo.

You'll shoot your eye out slugo... Plus that morphadite thing will barely have the speed of a slug.

JM I guess I might not shoot high enough volume to do this anyway, it would take alot to override my brains natural training of how to treat a rifle. come up here......on one of the days it aint raining* and i can change that enough ground squirrels and jacks around this year to smoke the barrel of most anything...... *there is a mobility issue not a gun issue attached to the rain qualifier.....the [bleep] clay around here is slick as snot when wet....

Used, but IMO the older barrels are better anyway. I got a steal on the rifle for sure, $250.

That don't count. You were comparing the cost of a new Browning with a used remmy. You cheated.

My used remmy shoots as good as a new browning, If you aint cheating you aint trying anyhow. I wish I could compare to the cost of a customized browning but nobody makes a damn thing for them.

For some reason "plastic jugs" had me thinking of female enhancement. I never would have suspected a running Remington vs Browning debate.
Guess I'm getting old.
