Personally, I find the metro-sexual styling of a lot of Brownings, including the X Bolt, to be a bit bizarre.


My feelings as well. I have a couple of Sakos and they are flawless in performance and easy to look at. "Metro-sexual" is a good descriptor for the Browning style these days. I only own one Browning, a Belgian .22 auto. I've seen and handled a lot of X-Bolts and BLR's. The Brownings don't feel good to me and they're hard to look at.


I usually look on firearms purchases as long-term investments. Trendy styling may look good to some now, but down the road, it will likely start to resemble some of the Japanese cars of the 70s and 80s. Classic styling always looks good, like Harris tweed, Levis, and Stetsons.

What fresh Hell is this?
