Can you help me find Browning A-bolt??

[wmaples]

As the title suggests I am looking for a Browning A-bolt. Yea yea I know gun broker but I am looking for a very specific one. I would like to find a “White gold Medallion” this is the stainless with walnut stock (see the pic below). Specifically I am interested in .280 Remington. I would look at other calibers but that one interest me the most. Any idea where to find one? I have been watching gunbroker, gunsamerica, armslist. Anybody out there got one they want to get out of the safe?

Have you tried calling Browning to see if they know where one might be?

What's the difference between the A bolt and the X bolt they still make?

Why not buy a X-Bolt white medallion. The difference is the action. The X-Bolt is a slimmer and smoother design. The barrels are the same blank between X-Bolt and A-Bolt.

The bottom metal is cheap and to me the rifle just looks much cheaper than the a bolt. Detachable plastic mag vs drop away floor plate. I just don’t think those two rifles are in the same league. I’ve also never seen an x bolt with a stock anywhere near as nice as basically every a bolt. Just my thoughts.

What about other brands. Tikka, Savage, ect. Winchester has a Model 70 Super Grade Stainless that's similar.

Here you go, I just looked at the Browning site because I didn't think they ever made it in .280 Rem.
And it looks like it was never chambered in that round according to their past models records

Interesting, I never looked there. I know they chambered in 280 in other abolt variants. I guess I just assumed they made them in all calibers the same. Thanks for posting that.

If your heart was really set on it, get one in 30-06 and have a 280 rem barrel spun for it. Caveat, I think the action has metric threads.
