Browning A Bolt + BOSS
:grin: I have a Browning A bolt purchased in 1998 which is in 25-06 Rem with a BOSS. I am happy to say I am pleased. It is consistently the most accurate rifle I have ever owned. There Are some plusses and minusses but overall the A Bolt + BOSS system is a winner. First the plusses; The system allows selection of a load ( factory or hand load) and make it shoot. You can very easily tune it in. It helps with recoil, especially a boomer like 300 Mag. The design of the A Bolt is very good with 60 deg 3 lug bolt, and the detachable mag on a Hinged floor plate, and the bore and chamber seem to be very well done(snug on the chamber and throating), The stock fits me well but that is an individual choice because a lot of people may find it has a short length of pull but I am 5' 9" tall. I have used it successfully on since 98 on several occassions, it is becoming my favorite go to gun. Now for the minusses. The BOSS is LOUD!!!! The BOSS steals 2" of the bore length.( 22" overall length but 20" behind the BOSS) . With a 300 MAG you will loose a slight amount of muzzle velocity. Overall I would buy another if I needed another rifle, but right now my 25-06 does it all. varmints to big game and the A Bolt does it well!!
