![]() Some investigation showed a design that was obviously of that lineage but addressed just about all the problems/unusual areas of the original. I had been hearing rumours that Browning were going to build a new rifle well before IWA 2008 and given that the A-Bolt was their only turn-bolt action, I was intrigued as to what it might offer. However, on the plus side the lift angle is a mere 60° and the safety is located on the tang so making it very easy and practical. I think what really puts people off is the odd feed system that sees a detachable box mag that can only be accessed by unlocking the floor plate and swinging it open, why? Also the rather odd shape of the bolt handle with its flattened/twisted look. However, the examples I have tested proved efficient and cost effective. I like it but would be the first to admit it has never really made that big an impression in the UK. Hands up all of you who like the Browning A-Bolt? Hmm I don’t see many, which is a pity as this unashamedly modern bolt-action rifle is a neat if quirky design.
