Anyone have any experience with these rifles?

Yes. I've played with several in 28 Nosler and one in 300 PRC. They shoot pretty good for a factory rifle. The magazine also allows for a longer COAL, which is helpful for the bigger bullets. They also went with the faster twist rate on their barrels, which is also good. Many rifle mfg build a 28 Nosler, but then handicap it with a 1:9" twist.

I had one in a 6.5 prc. I was a great rifle. Shot just under 1moa with out any hard work on my part. The only reason I got rid of it was barrel length since I hunt suppressed. It was way more difficult to try and rebarrel it or cut it down (with the fluting) than it was to sell it and fund a semi custom rifle off a Tikka action to the specs I ultimately wanted. If I didn't hunt suppressed, then it would have been a forever rifle for me!!! Excellent build quality from browning and I loved loved loved the stock.

great rifles. there after aftermarket trigger options now too. factory trigger is good, but some enjoy a lighter pull.

I don't like the muzzle brake which doesn't "blend" with the end of the barrel. Just looks funky to me, kind of an afterthought

I've seen recently that they are offering a shorter barrel version with more specific suppressor threads. Don't recall if I saw this on the Long Range versions, as I think it was the Speed version. Worth a look though.
