    The BOSS system is currently only available on factory rifles from Browning (since 1999 I believe). However, some NIB Win Model 70's with the BOSS are still available if you know where to look.I'm assuming your buddy is going to use this rifle for a hunting rifle. The nice thing about the BOSS is you can dial it in for your particular load. The downside is it's really loud. The Model 70 is a great rifle. If it were me, I would probably choose brand new w/ BOSS over the pre-64 Win Model 70. Both are well-built rifles. It's just a personal preference. There are some other good choices out there, too.

    I would have him buy the new rifle with the Boss system, then give me the number of the guy with the Pre 64 for sale.

    My hunting partner has the a-bolt with the boss in 300. I have seen head shots on whitetail at 325+ yds more times than I care to remember. The recoil is cut, and the gun is accurate. No contest, a-bolt BOSS hands down. Build a custom on the pre 64 action.

    Browning / Winchester sells ($18.50 + shipping) their B.O.S.S device without the muzzlebrake option, but you have to call & specify whichcaliber & finish. 1.800.945.5237.My 300WinMag (W/ported BOSS) causes comments & dirty looks at the range so I inquired & am awaiting delivery of a non-ported unit.

    If it were me I would go with the Pre 64. I like the classics.

    I have the Browny A-Bolt in 300 mag, NO boss, the recoil is not bad. I reload, and have no problems with 1/2 groups at 100yds. But I like the classics also, I would get both!!!! But if I really had to pick just one, I would go with the Browny

    IMHO there is no choice here. Its the same difference as driving a pre 64 Rolls Royce or driving a new Ford. You never regret buying quality. Go with the pre 64!
