Customer service -What I mean is are they approchable, Been along time since I purchased a firearm. My buddy and I went to one place no names mentioned and wanted to look at a few brands/styles before I purchased a rifle . The guy behind the counter continued to talk to anther employ and acted like we did not exist I was not impressed so I left. I want a place where they are willing to answer question, hand 4 or five rifles over the counter and discuss and answer questions. If there is an issue with the firearm they point me in the right direction for answers.

Ok gotcha....WSS in South Edmonton will let you handle rifles until you are sick of them.....if you are set on the Browning Im sure they have one there.

As for Service, and being able and willing to answer questions, and let you handle the rifle's you are interested in I would point you in the direction of P&D downtown Edmonton 115st and just south of 106ave.
However I don't know that they are always the cheapest place to buy your rifle. Some brands they can do a better price then WSS but its not your hands down price winner by any means

sorry , not Browning, I meant Remington....

The xcr is a fine rifle. Remington has great actions and in 30-06 or 300 win you would have a great all around rifle. Lots of bullet selection too....and if you reload, the skys the limit.

I think you are leaning towards the right rifle. Shoulder a few at WSS just to make sure.....

That's part of the fun
