Things that drew me to the Browning:

- 60 Degree bolt-lift. It makes a big difference for me, especially if you have a low mounted optic. With the Savage and Remington that I used to have my thumb would often hit the optic or the mount when cycling the bolt.

- Slight palm swell on the stock (synthetic) put the trigger in just the perfect place for my hand

- Safety locked the bolt

- Lighter weight

Of course, now I don't even have a bolt action hunting rifle anymore, but if I did, I would get another Browning.
