Tactical bolt gun out of a Browning A-Bolt?

[TDH]

I want a tactical bolt gun that is capable of a little distance. I have a 308 F class gun that I shoot regularly (semi-auto). Currently the only bolt gun I have is a 50BMG.

I just took a Browning A-Bolt stainless barreled 300WSM on trade for a GSG-5 I had. It's in really good condition.

Do any of the major stock manufacturers make a tactical stock for the A-Bolt?

Is it worth spending time and money on to shoot 600+ or should I just use it to hunt and build a dedicated bolt gun later.

That or I thought that Browning tried the tactical side somthling like TC and Kimber did.

I asked the same question on here a few months ago and got some mixed answers. In the end I sold the A-Bolt in .30-06 that I had and bought a Rem 700 XCR Compact Tactical in .308. Most of what I could gather from other Hide members and from talking to local smiths was that most were not familiar working on and the lack of after market parts made it extremely hard to build a Tactical, or Longer Range set-up from a Browning action. Good luck with your idea but, I would suggest that you keep it for hunting and build something else for the purpose of tactical shooting and distance shooting.
