I worked for a top gunshop around 1996. I remember all the great sales and deals we had on Browning A-bolts. I was younger and thought I was Jack O'Connor and laughed at all of the novices and newbies that bought them.
Years later I realized how good they were. The barrels were floated, triggers not bad, decent synthetic stocks, and really nice walnut ones.
But mainly they would freakin shoot. Everybody we sold to bragged on them it seems. I saw groups shot with a 7mm Rem.Mag. that I couldn't believe.
I wish I had a stainless synthetic hunter model, and a Walnut Medallion. Very cool rifles, and a deal back then.
Same here, but our shop had a couple crack gunsmiths. When a customer would ask if the A-bolts were any good, I'd escort him into gun repair...look over the few hundred guns in the rack waiting for repairs. " Do you see any Browning A-bolts in there?"
I thought not.....
And yeah..the accuracy!
