I'd like to know the specifications and the design of the Browning A-Bolt action.
What specifications are you looking for?I'd like to know the specifications and the design of the Browning A-Bolt action.
Are they three lug or two?
You've answered everything I wanted to know, thank you sir.What specifications are you looking for?
As to the design its a low lift pushfeed using an internal detachable magazine, so the action dosent have its own feed rails.
The bolt bits are all seperate, so coupled with the magazines being your feed control mechinism they are completely modular within their action lengths.
Barrels are shouldered, recoil lugs are washer type, and a little shorter/thinner than say a 700 or a savage.
If theres flaws its rhe wierd little roller bearing on the cocking cam. Ive never seen it have issues, but ive read that they do sometimes. Also the internal DM mag is my favorite design feature, but it also necessitates the guns be wider and taller thru the middle than absolutely necessary. Compared to MOST other bolt actions its noticeable but not significantly so....compared to the Xbolt that replaced it, the abolt seems pudgy.....or perhaps the Xbolt seems anorexic..... admittedly Im not a huge fan of the Xbolts stock feel tru the middle, too round and thin....other wise also a fantastic rifle.
Ive only owned one Abolt 2, but its been my favorite rifle, and rifle action, for a long time. All thru highschool my buddys family used A-bolts, and i shot theirs enough to know really like them.
Happy to help.You've answered everything I wanted to know, thank you sir.
