Since I'm primarily a hunter, I'm pretty happy with MOA accuracy considering the animals I hunt (deer, elk and an occasional hog). Unless a gun has other characteristics that I didn't like, for me, it would be a keeper. When I do my part, my X Bolt 300 WM shoots MOA or better out to 300 yards which is my self-imposed limit as I'm just not confident in my skills much beyond 300 yards. That said, if I were hunting prairie dogs or into target shooting MOA would probably not cut it.
Start young, hunt hard, and enjoy God's bounty.

My X-Bolt CF in 7mm-08 will put 140gr tsx,accubonds and partitions into .75-.9 inch groups without any trouble. That's the only factory loads I have tried in the gun so far and it shoots them great.

My X-Bolts have both shot better than my Sakos and Tikkas. The barrels are typically excellent. Sub 3/4" groups are easily shot with factory ammo.

I've always been a gun trader as many folks are I figure it's just a matter of to each their own I may just keep it for one of my Grandsons when I'm gone as they love to hunt!  Dude, you are making retrograde progress!! If it ain't broke, don't fix it!! Was there some particular reason you weren't happy with the Tikka that caused you to move it? If there wasn't some underlying problem that you found with Tikka's, then move the Browning and go get another Tikka and be happy. This thing about constantly trading guns just as an end in itself is something I never understood. I still have the same old Remington 788 LH in 6mm Rem in a Bishop stock that was my first centerfire I got as a teenager. Still have the Remington 7600 in .280 that I took to Colorado in 1990. The same Marlin 1894 I bought at K-Mart for $100 back in the 70's. The same original grade I Browning T-Bolt. You get the drift. I rarely move rifles unless I have a serious reason. I stay happier that way...lots of 'old friends' to use.
Sell the Browning, go by another Tikka, and keep it this time.
