Boss is a muzzle brake vibration controlling device attached to the end of a rifle. The BOSS system is proprietary to Browning Firearms Company. The purpose is twofold:

1./ Help to reduce recoil with the muzzle brake.

2./ Using a dialing system ( incremental numbers on the BOSS) you can set the ammount of vibration to the barrel for each ammunition load you use. This when used properly is suposed to greatly tighten the shot group on a target.

How does the boss symstem work on your browing A-bolt rifle work?

BOSS stands for "Ballistic Optimizing Shooting System". With the BOSS system installed properly, the intent is that once a rifle is sighted in with a particular ammuntion, the BOSS increases accuracy by reducing barrel vibration. Each caliber, bullet weight, and Ammunition Manufacturer, has a setting for your model of rifle. The setting is what Browning calls "The Sweet Spot". For instance, you may have a .30-06 and you shoot Federal 165 grain bullets. The BOSS guide will tell you which setting on your BOSS (sweet spot) will optimize the shooting accuracy of your rifle.
