Default Browning A-Bolt Hunter

Finally got around to taking a picture.

Browning A-Bolt Hunter .30-06



Originally I was going to buy a Mini-14 but I came across this and decided to get this instead. Besides it has more class IMO.

shoot it yet? If not, give a report when you do. Very nice looking setup.

Yup, fired it a couple days ago. Works fine, though I don't know what I'd compare it to seeing as I've never had a Full Powered Rifle before.

The trigger pull is very light, Rifle was comfortable, the recoil was very manageable (though I let my friend shoot it and now he has a nice Harry Potter gash and he had a grotesque amount of blood running down his forehead, all from the generic shooter error of putting your face too close to the scope combined with the fact that he didn't hold the rifle tight enough =O )

Did you make sure it wasn't Japanese made?
