Browning A-Bolt Stalker Stainless

Deaf Smith · August 25, 2017, 03:27 PM

Does anyone here use one? Do they work well? Accurate? Reliable. Any idiocies?

Saw one for a good price.. $500. Looks in excellent shape.

Seems to be a A-Bolt II made in 2015.

Thanks,

Deaf

Hunted with one for years in 300 Win Mag. More than accurate enough for a hunting rifle and never had any problems with it.

I have one in 7mm Rem Mag, with the boss.
I have had it right around 20 years now, and it has never failed me.
Groups are "slightly" starting to open up, but it's had alot of lead down it's bore.
I have been out in freesing rain, and the rifle was covered in ice. It still went bang, and put the bullet where it was supposed to go when I needed it that day too.

I've have two left-hand Stainless Stalker rifles, a 7mm Rem Mag and a .300 Win Mag. I have never installed a scope on the 7mm and have never shot it. I have used the .300 on two elk hunts. I got two 5 X 5 bulls . I got the bigger one in the Bob Marshall Wilderness and it is on my wall. I also got a small Black Bear in the Bob - the head and hide are on the wall. Good rifles in my opinion. The .300 is VERY accurate.

I own an ABolt 3 that is very accurate. Browning produces well built rifles that are fairly priced. There is nothing flimsy or cheap about a Browning rifle.
