While I have no serious need for it, I've been yearning for a Browning A-Bolt 12ga for some time now. They had become pretty tough to find online and prices seemed to go up accordingly. Bud's had them on sale a couple years ago, but I didn't jump. I make a point, every so often to check for them online and voila, Cabelas has just recently bought a bunch of NOS A-Bolt 12ga guns.
The prices vary as to which Cabelas store is selling them, but after searching for a good while I found one for $550, reduced from $900. It should be arriving at my FFL soon. So, I'm wondering who here might have some experience with the A-Bolt 12ga. Most I've read about them, say they are typically quite accurate. I'm figuring on topping it with either a Hawke 30mm 1-4x24 with IR or a Sig Sauer Whiskey 5 in 1-5x20, also with IR.
Any advice as to what slugs perform well in it would be appreciated along with what I should be looking for in group sizes at 100 yards (3 shot groups). I'm hoping for 2" groups at 100 yards, with a slug it likes. FWIW, my slug preferences run to Brenneke.
Thanks.
