Browning Rifle Stocks
What to buy- New Ruger MK2 or Used Browning A-Bolt?
My Husband is thinking about buying a deer rifle. He's not sure of what rifle to buy. His main choices are a Ruger Mark 2 in stainless with synthetic stock .270 cal. New price is 444.44 He has seen a Browning A-bolt Stainless Stalker at a pawn shop in well used condition. Scratches on the barrel and ejector plate and needs a good cleaning. Also scratches on the stock from a strap for 475.00 .270 cal. Any thoughts. New or used maybe something he hasn't thought of. Prefer .270 or 30-06 or 7 mag.
As a Gunsmith and lifetime hunter myself I would recommend your husband buy the New Ruger MK2 instead of the Browning A-Bolt. The Browning is a decent Rifle but the Ruger is a much stronger action, and not overpriced despite Ruger's fine reputation. At $475.00 the Browning priced is on the "High" side, especially for it's condition and being in a Pawn Shop..270 caliber is the perfect Deer cartridge IMO. With 308 a very close second....
NOTE* Any gun you buy in a Pawn Shop has NO warranty or recourse if something goes wrong with the rifle after you purchase it. A New Ruger has a terrific warranty that will offer your husband peace of mind for the investment.Not to mention, I rarely get Ruger rifles in for Gunsmith work or repair issues..Can't make this same claim with Brownings though.Good Luck with what-ever he/you choose.
