Back in the very early 90s, "anybody who wanted to act like somebody" in our neck of the hunting woods in FL had to have a Stainless Stalker ABolt. 270 and 7mm Rem Mags were very popular. I finally got a composite stalker (black) in 270 and it shot very well. That gun went through a lot, I took quite a bit of game with it, but had a few notable mishaps that I blamed on it. All were my fault but after losing a beast of a low fence, south Texas monster, I sold the gun.

I ended up buying a matching composite stalker in 22-250 with BOSS as a sister gun for practice/hogs/truck gun and it served me very well over the years. I still have it, after rebarrelling with a Kreiger.

I would buy another Browning bolt, as they are put together very well and shoot.
