If you happen on one at a good price then yes sir buy it.
Lets face it. Not many people buy what gets the job done . If that was the case we'd all be using 22lr and a 30-30. Most now adays want options, add ons,etc. The fact that the aftermarket world has never warmed to the Abolt is the only reason Browning doesn't sell more than they do. The rifle it's self is good.
That's all well and good, but to say that one has has NEVER heard anyone recomend an A-Bolt "not once", is a little over the top and concidering that there were clearly three recomendations right in front of his face, simply not true.
As far as lack of after market parts and being unpopular for use as a custom platform,,, I guess you could say the same about the miracle like "Tika", which seems to be the answer to every rifle question ever asked.
