Browning Eurobolt
« on: January 01, 2004, 12:13:41 PM »
Anyone know much about these rifles?  Ran across one in 243 in a local gunshop that has peaked my interest.  Browning international advertises a set trigger, but this rifle appears to be slightly older with a slightly different stock than the current model.

I'm torn between the 243 and a 6.5 Swede, as this is my "tweener" rifle.  I'm trying to fill the niche between the 223 and the 06.  Any info about twist rate, set trigger, or reliability would be appreciated.

I'm already a Browning fan, this would be my third....but I don't know anything about this rifle.  Bolt appears to be similar to the A-BoltII--no sand cuts and a rotating shroud.

Not positive---but as I recall the Eurobolt wat just your basic A-Bolt with some cosmetic differences.

Matte finish---European shaped stock--and a butterknife bolt handle---nothing major different from an A-Bolt---just looks.

Cloudrnnr:  Don't be torn - get the 6.5 Swede and you will never look back.  Then you won't be a 'tweener' anymore.  Once you shoot your 6.5, you will fergit all 'bout that 223 and may even forget about your 06.  Since I got my 6.5 (sporterized Mauser Model 38) I have been more interested in that cartridge than in my 06, and now that I play with the 8mm quite a bit, the old 06 spends a lot of time in the safe.  Mikey.
