Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire John Browning- Irony Southern Style

I really like my A-bolt and on a good day it will shoot just as good or better than my Sako or my Remington. It's also nice and light which makes it a real joy when hiking 10+ miles a day hunting elk.

It's certainly isn't the end all of rifles, but I do believe I'll keep it.

Considering the context of your post it is a little mind boggling when thinking about Baptists and Buckmarks in the same thought.

A Bolts - what 700 owners customize their rifles trying to equal.

Oh, I almost forgot, I'm Catholic.

We don't have sitdowns like little old ladies and discuss cults or everyone elses business at Church.

Like you and few other ladies do around here.

Never thought of replacing 700 trigger parts with pot metal!

Don't you have a knitting party to attend?

Out of the heart the mouth speaks...

So I take it you own Jap made pot metal?

A bunch of them.

Please read my signature line.

Pot metal? - try solid gold man. Honestly, I don't care for the shiny stock that much (replaced all but one with McMillans) and as you have stated before the enclosed trigger group isn't optimal, but I can't argue with my own personal experience. My oldest ABolt is 25 years old and hasn't had one issue with a lot of years of hard use. It as accurate or more so than any factory 700 I've seen and it fits me like a glove. So, while there are better designs out there, the ABolt is far from the worst. Now the X-Bolt is an ugly POS!!

Bless your heart John Moses,

If you like (jap made) Brownings I'm happy for you.


edited to say jap made as there is a difference from real Brownings.

You certainly keep it well hid.

Oh, and plenty have more. Much more.

I do and thanks. I hope you are satisfied with yours as well.

I can see why that would appeal to you, as it certainly is an apt description of you.

Hope you are not including yourself and the granny gossipers in that group.

You ol' bitties better stick to checkers and discussing bunion surgery.

Your well deserved public beat down is well underway.

Hate to admit I have an A-Bolt, but a friend proved I was lying when I said you could not give me one... And that one does not have trigger parts corroding issues and it has seen a fair amount of saltwater.

There is just a bunch of luck involved in getting a decent one.

I type fast Lucille.

But I will admit,

I truly enjoy reading John Moses post!

He's got good wit and a way of saying things that is pretty entertaining.

I may not be able to out talk him but I bet I could out shoot him.

You would risk getting embarrassed by a Browning?

500 yds and under and you have a bet.

I get to pick your gun and ammo and the size of your targets vs. mine.

You get an old springfield .22 I have with 26 yr. old ammo.
