X2. Absolutely agree.
Something to consider.... Browning sold a LOT of A-bolts over the years in many different variations and many different calibers. How often do you see one come up for sale? I've been keeping my eye out for a minty, low round count A-bolt or A-bolt II in 7mm Rem mag, 300 Win, or 300 WSM, and nothing seems to pop up. The absolute Holy Grail for me would be a near new 300 WSM in Mountain Ti. If one ever came up, I'm sure that I would over-pay for it and I wouldn't even care. And I'm the type who spends hours and hours trying to find a rifle somewhere for $50 cheaper!
Btw Deer Hunter, Thanks for the heads-up.
