A-bolt question

FJR1300 · September 19, 2007, 09:59 PM

I was looking at an A-bolt the other day and was kind of surprised by a couple of things. The triggers were heavy and the bolts were very stiff for the first part of their travel. Do either of these get better with use? Is it easy to adjust the triggers?

Now onto the main thing that bothered me- Browning lists these as free floated barrels. I ended up looking at 2 Stainless Stalkers and 1 Medallion and all three had heavy stock to barrel contact. When I said something to the salesman, he tried to play it off with "Well, you can just clean that up with a little sanding"- but isn't that pretty far out of line for a "quality" rifle? They sure aren't cheap to have something like that
