[QUOTE="Bman940, post: 2883789, member: 26379"] One of my favorite classic hunting rifles. My Father-In-Law stumbled on this rifle decades ago at a garage sale, still wrapped in butcher paper and cosmoline. He picked it up for a few hundred dollars (he gave them more than they asked) and gifted it to me. Little did I know, he did that, so I'd scope it and dial it in for him to use when we hunted together. This rifle shoots 1.25 MOA with good hunting ammo and is an absolute pleasure to shoot. My FIL took several deer with it when we hunted KS. Little did we know the rifle is only a shooter as long as the temp is over 30 deg! I did everything you would think of to fix the problem, even sent it back to Browning for a look after another failure to ignite a round happened again. We finally decided it was a warm weather rifle, not frigid winter weather. I swapped a fixed 6X for my Riton 1 Primal 4-12X50 Illuminated reticle and parallax adjustment. Just like using my .375 H&H for pigs, this rifle has proven to be an excellent warm weather predator rig. [/QUOTE]
