I'm sure you'll enjoy it.  I've got one and with the right bullet it's quite accurate. 

Chris.

Very accurate rifles. They win as many BP matches as any of the other rifles out there these days. While Browning has not offered for several years there seem to be plenty of them available. Most of the folks that I know who shoot them do well with one or the other of the BACo Money bullets. Good luck with yours.

you bought the right rifle! I use 535 nose pour from Pioneer; 60gr of swiss 1 1/2.  I have four of the Winchester-brownings. Had Lee Shaver tune up the triggers on all of them. john
