Bye Bye Browning!

[Hairtrigger]

I am happy to say I have a great relationship with a quality local shop. Had I purchased that rifle from my local shop they would have taken it back or made it right for me.
Cannot say that with big box stores but some do offer options within a reasonable time after purchase.

Again, cannot say enough about dealing local with a quality shop

From a Browning to a Ruger???Has Remington stopped making rifles?

That is what a few guys are telling me that bought remingtons - the past few years At least with the older remingtons you had a very good rifle after you did something with the triggers .Swampman you set your self up for that one.

As far as Browning goes , I had a liteweight BLR in 358 W that spent two of the three years I owned it, in the repair shop . It was bought new and was sent back and forth three times .I did sell it after browning sorted things out the third time . Browning was good in the sence they never questioned why it was back , jut repaired and sent it back at no cost to me .
Well  From Marlin I was told that my guide was with in Spec when I claimed it was more of a 460 / 70 than a 45/70 so that was the last new Marlin I bought .

But I did buy a new browning A bolt about a month ago!! I know the company will try to solve an issue that could come up. That my friend still means something in this world.

 That bit about Marlins is disappointing. I have been considering a Marlin lever action as they are dirt cheap at Walmart ($350) but the terrible looking stock puts me off. Poor tolerances on the bore however would be a deal breaker. You cant strip, sand and finish that away.
