A-bolt II??
« on: June 01, 2005, 08:49:43 AM »
I thought I had heard about an Abolt II that Browning was making. Do they still make it? I cant find it on their website......all I see are the different models of Abolt I's....j/w if there is any difference.

What you see on their site are A-Bolt IIs. Browning stopped making A-Bolts (A-Bolt I) back around 1994. I'm pretty sure about this as I had just purchased a new A-Bolt II Stainless Stalker in .270 back then and left it in the safe for months unfired. It was then that I found out that they had a recall on the A-Bolt IIs and Browning sent me a shipping box to send the gun to them. The problem was a heat treating issue that would cause the gun to fire when moving the safe from safe to fire. I took the gun back to where I bought it and bought a Winchester Classic Stainless instead.
