RE: what about browning 30-06 bar
I have hunted with a BAR for over 20 years, my father has hunted with a BAR for over 30 years. In all those years we have had it become a single shot only once, and that was really my fault. I had hunted for a week in heavy rains up in Canada, then I came down to Maine and hunted all season without cleaning the action out. I shot a deer, then I shot to help my buddies find me to help drag it out. After the 4th shot or so it didn't kick a shell all the way out. Truthfully, I have had more difficulty with bolt actions, probably just because I am not used to them.
I was trying to figure it out, probably between us we have shot more than 30 deer 3 moose and various other things with BAR's and never had any issues. I have never heard anyone familliar with them ever mention anything about poor accuracy with them, I have the boss system on mine, and it certainly shoots more accurately than I can.

The BAR is definetly a cut above the rest. Worth every penny IMO. Shoot awesome with hardly any recoil in my dads 30-06. I love that rifle. I just bought an a-bolt medallion and its also extremely accurate. 1/2 minute all day. I can get under minute with the ole mans semi.

All that being said, $500 still does sound a little on the higher end for a 30 year old gun. The new bar's have a different gas ejection system, and a lever that lets you close the magazine when you go empty, which is very nice to have. They also have some with the boss system, and some lighter weight models. I thought they were going in the $800 ish range, you might want to check with some used gun stores to make sure you are being used well.
