I went a little crazy at the gun shop today. I went to pick up my Browning Stainless Stalker 22-250 with Christensen Arms carbon fiber barrel an Leupold VX-IIc 6-18x40 scope. When I came in to pay, Ed said that he had something to show me before I left. Well, he had just gotten 2 Benelli M1 Super 90s and he didn't have to convince me to take it home. Here is the haul from today.

I was under the impression that I could [b]not[/b] put a longer mag extension on the M1. Is that correct? |

Dang!
I was hoping you were posting pics of a new sweetie of the two-legged variety. TheRedGoat Bring them to ETH's and we will try that 22-250 out at 400 yards against propane tanks. |

Not with that evil pistol grip still attached: THE GUN CONTROL ACT OF 1968, PUBLIC LAW 90-618 TITLE 18, UNITED STATES CODE, CHAPTER 44 § 921. Definitions (30) The term "semiautomatic assault weapon" means - (D) a semiautomatic shotgun that has at least 2 of - (i) a folding or telescoping stock; (ii) a pistol grip that protrudes conspicuously beneath the action of the weapon; (iii) a fixed magazine capacity in excess of 5 rounds; and (iv) an ability to accept a detachable magazine. |

The trigger on the Browning is pretty nice right out of the box. It has absolutely no creep and an crisp break at 4.25 pounds. It's still a little heavy but I think I can get used to it. Oh, the trigger on the Benelli is very nice too.

Bunghole - I'm with ah1z, I hate you too[:D]
How much does the Browning weigh and how does it shoot? I always wanted one with the carbon fiber barrel, but I figured it would be too light to get really good accuracy. |

Very nice for a day in the shop. That is a bunch of money to throw down in one day on non-Class 3 stuff! Good to hear about the trigger on your Browning. My Stalker 7 mag breaks like a glass rod at 4 lbs. I would like to bring the weight down a little bit but I don't want to mess with it.
Edited to add: Nice tile BTW. Just helped my brother in law, or rather he helped me, install [i]very[/i] similar tile in his kitchen. |

The bathroom scale shows a weight of 6 lbs. I don't know how accurate that is though. It does feel very light.

Actually I don't think I could have even bought a Vector Uzi for what I have in this deal. I got a really good deal on the Browning. |

Does that 6lbs include the scope?
That would be great for long hikes. |

You are rich in more than mere money, Sir
The M1 is a gem The rifle a work of art Some say you can not buy happiness. I say you have to buy it in two parts. Part # 1 can be many things but they must have part # two to make you happy Part # 2 can only be two things AMMO or GASOLINE |

The A-Bolt's trigger is adjustable! You may be able to lighten it by turning a small screw that's accessible only after removing the triggerguard. It should be in the manual.
I know Brownings aren't a big hit with the tactical crowd but IMHO they shoot very well. Anybody else ever miss-spell tactical as tacticle. I gotta get my head out of the sewer. |

Thanks for the tip about the trigger adjustment. I ran it all the way in and the pull is 2 lbs. or less.

Worse then herding cats I tell ya! The only one who I've actually been able to hook up with is Maddog50, and that was only once! If everything works out I should be able to go to ETH's place, but there are quite a few sockets, sprockets, and springs, that need to be adjusted, timed, and greased before I can commit to going there. |
