Maybe I need to forgive Browning for my A-Bolt not being very accurate and not write them off completely. Sounds like most folks find them to be pretty accurate.

I may be wrong, but I think the A-Bolts were not as well received as the newer X-Bolts have been.

Here was my choice after driving Mtmuley nuts earlier this year in my search. A 7mm Rem Mag Bergara Ridge with a Leupold VX5HD 3x15x44. I know that’s heavier than your looking for at over 10 lbs but they have different options to reduce the weight. All in the total came to $1,512.05. That leaves room for him to get a complete reloading set up or pay for a tag for this year.

I never got my A-bolt under 1 MOA. It could probably have been done. I gave up on it early because I didn’t particularly care for it.

VikingsGuy and I don't see a lot the same
, however.... Winchester 1885 has my nod. I hemmed and hawed (price) on a Davidsons limited run recently until the last one went away. If a similar one appears in a future run, won't happen again. Also, an older Ruger #1B, in excellent condition, would run about the same as a "high end production" bolt. If a single round only doesn't interest you, never mind........
Doesn't fit any of the OP's specs - but the kid will be cool with a long octagon barreled piece of eye candy.......

My LAW was twice as much as my current set up, in the hands you don’t notice where the extra grand went. Maybe it will at the range but I have my doubts from what I’ve seen so far from others posts. If He is dead set on spending a certain amount then by all means spend away and send a 700 out to Allen Precision and get it tuned up.
You talking about Kirby in Fort Shaw, Montana? mtmuley

Yep, ever since you first post a link to him, I’ve wanted one. It’s just not what I can swing for what I do, but is damn nice looking stuff.

They do! Just not commonly carried by dealers. It is listed in this year's brochure/catalog. It will be my next rifle purchase.
