Did I mention they are make in JAPAN. Yes, and you also mentioned a confusion with tense and past tense. But like your ignorance of language, the rest of the adults here are willing to overlook a minor thing such as country of origin. If you would pay attention, maybe you would understand what I have been going through the last year and a half. It is a wonder I am still alive!

My uncle owns a Micro Medallion in 7mm-08 and loves it.
I have heard that the A-Bolts are hard to rebarrel.

I don't concern myself with your personal xenophobic trivialities.
I have come here to chew bubblegum and kick ass. And I'm all out of bubblegum. I do tend to fit in well wherever I go in person. The campfire is the most outside exposure I get. No TV, no newspaper.

The "Made in Japan" thing when Browning rifles are mentioned always seems weird to me. There was just a five page thread talking about Weatherby Vanguards, and no one seemed bothered by them being built in Japan.
How do you guys who hate to hunt with stuff made in Japan make it into the field without stuff made in China?

Not that I'm a fan, but in the 4 months that I've been on the Campfire nobody ever mentions them in a best,favorite type of thread. Why? Just curious. Made in Japan crap. They look like they belong on a gay SF street. You couldn't give me one.

I don't remember China bombing us? When did that happen?
Dec 7th is the anniversary of Pearl Harbor. Google it?
I like to do my hunting BEFORE I pull the trigger!
There is only one kind of dead, but there are many different kinds of wounded.

I'm partial to the Browning small butts.... Try one out in a 300, 338, 375 Mag. You might have other thoughts. .

Having shot more than a few A-Borts and seen many more shot I have to say I am amazed at the number of "incredible" shooters out there. Seldom have I seen a bad A-Bort as far as accuracy goes, but when folks all claim half-inch and stuff it makes me giggle just a little. Unless they are using factory ammo of course...

Art, I owned one in 338 Win some years back. I could not get that damn thing to shoot better than 1.5", down the road it went. Now my 77 in 338 Win is another story. There, I said it. An A-bort owner who didn't shoot 1/2" groups

Mr. deer, Well I certainly can't prove it to you but I know my gun shoots like I said it does. I shoot 300yd benchrest at my club and am at the range weekly doing load development for various rifles. I shoot off concrete benches with Sinclair rests etc. I shoot thousands of rounds annually and as hard as it must be for you to believe I have the ability to shoot sub 1/2" groups. I'm a lot of things but a liar isn't one of em. I also volunteer at my Izaak Walton gun club for an "open to the public" sight-in days event. It runs the 3 weekends leading up to deer season. We volunteers basically spot for shooters @ 100yds and mark their shots with pins on a target. I'll help sight in 30 to 40 guns per day even making scope adjustments and shooting some for people. It's a nice representation of how different brands of rifles and scopes perform. After the 2nd year of doing this I noticed you almost never see a Browning or Tikka that doesn't shoot. And these aren't typically expert marksmen shooting carefully tailored handloads either. So my opinion is based off personally sighting hundreds of different makes and calibers. I'd like to know who's here's got more experience with the accuracy of a broader range of rifles and calibers.

I have an a-bolt in 30-06 and it will consistently shoot 3'4" groups with either 165 grain Gamekings or Interlocks. But, while talking with a professional hunting guide a few years ago he told me that during his time in Alaska he saw more of them fail than other makes of rifles. I think the guy who posts as JJHack, an African PH, has said the same thing. Still, in the kind of weather I usually hunt it, I have total confidence in it.
