Browning abolt 3

[Hock3y24]

Does anyone have any experience with this rifle? I bought one today for what I though was a good deal.

.243, wood stock with palm swell, 22" barrel, sticker price on it was $579, gander marked down to $405, browning rebate $100. 

Total cost for rifle $305 and then got leupold bases and rings for $19 usually $65. I got the scope last year (bushnell xlt doa 600 for under 100 after rebate.

$324 plus tax total. Fully set up $450.

I have the Abolt II for a long time. I would take a Browning over anything.

Same here, I have the A-bolt and although it is as heavy as a boat anchor it is a hell of a shooter.

This new "ab3" is more budget minded compared to the gen 1 and 2s. I think ya lighter also 6lb 13 oz.

20 rounds at 100 yards-----

Light gun (which was a main point for me) safety is loud and sounds cheap. Spring noise will not cut it, I need to find a way to adjust it. A-bolt is smooth, easy to reload, no issues, no complaints, smooth and easy to use. Gun was accurate, little recoil, and fun to shoot. 

20 rounds at 300 yards------

Wow after locking gun down at 100 yards we stepped it out to 300 yards the rifle was spot on. Adjusted 6 inches high with no wind and had a solid group. I wouldn't push it more then 300 yards.

Was shooting 140 grain hornady.

Awesome rifle for under $500 except for the safety .

 

[corydd7]

That's for 7mm08 model.

[Hock3y24]

I agree Cory that safety is loud, I'm more of a 200 yard and les shooter and intend on this gun being mostly for my wife and kids which will be 100 and less! I just couldn't walk by any new browning for $300.

My X hunting partner has one in 30-06 for a number of years we sighted it in on my property ( pretty close to a tack driver ) over the years it has taken many deer and a few yotes. with it.

Sounds like you got a great deal, good luck with the gun!  My buddies have a few browning guns they are well made and shoot great! 

[grampy]

Very nice rifle, at a very nice price! Good going, and good luck with it!

[The_Real_TCIII]

That's the exact setup I'd like to get for my kids, you did well!

I won one in 30-06 and it is a tack driver. My 13 year old son claimed it!!

[Hock3y24]

Picked up 

100 grain sierra game kings

95 Winchester ballistic tips

90 nosler ballistic tips

85 federal trophy copper

80 barns ttsx

range day today, I have it on paper at 100 yards with 100 grain core locks I had laying around. I'm hoping the copper rounds group well, specifically the ttsx has great reviews.

Nice rig there... should work fine. 

[rotorooter23]

nice pick up with the new rifle bill for the rest of Broome County! Johnson City Gander? I may go down there and poke around a bit tonight.

Nice gun! I haven't shot mine yet, but I won a Whitetails Unlimited A Bolt III in .270 at a banquet. Just need to get a good set of bases and rings for it. Will be topped with a Leupold. But the gun looks and feels good against the shoulder.

Nice!!!!
