| Buddy's shop has one (NIB) I'm considering. Rifle is in .243 Win (I have brass and dies from a previous Savage 110 from nearly 40 yrs ago). Would be a backup rifle for myself or grandkids. What can you tell me about the rifle. I haven't had any Browning rifles since a 1886 Carbine and 1895 Rifle back in the early 90s. No rush on closing the deal as I still have 6 more months OCONUS. |

Sweet baby Jesus on fire. Gonna need a damn lawyer and a miracle to pull my ass outta this.
| I have an AB3 30-06, but it’s not the micro. The action isn’t ball bearing smooth but is good enough for what it is. Mine is very accurate with Federal Trophy Copper 168gr. The plastic trigger is different but is pretty good. I did put an MCARBO trigger spring in it. |

Had one in 30-06,walnut stocked. Gave it to stepson, he loves it ... One point of failure: the extractor design isn't fabulous. I'm personally seen my AB3 fail to chamber a round, since extractor would not snap over rim... It was an easy fix, but check extractor movement before purchase |
