Hunters in the market for a reliable bolt-action rifle that keeps value in the crosshairs have come to the right place. The AB3 bolt-action rifle is more than the sum of its parts. It has proven Browning accuracy, design, looks, and the level of performance you are accustomed to from a product that wears the Buckmark logo.
This AB3 is a level up from the standard versions with an OD Green composite stock and the protection of a Tungsten Cerakote® finish on the barreled action. The barrel is threaded M13x.075 for the included radial muzzle brake or an optional Browning Recoil Hawg Sporter can be added for even greater felt recoil reduction (thread protector included). A larger hex-shaped bolt knob is also standard.

Additional Information:
The most important point to consider with any hunting rifle is trust. You need to trust that the rifle is accurate, reliable, and will go bang every time you squeeze the trigger.
Leave it to Browning to develop a bolt-action rifle that does all that, includes a number of additional features that enhance performance, and is also budget friendly. Using high quality materials, proven designs, and precision Browning craftsmanship, the AB3 is made to give you confidence in the field and still have cash left in your pockets for optics and ammunition.
FREE-FLOATING BARREL
The free-floating, button rifled barrel is made from cold rolled steel. Every barrel is then triple checked for interior finish, straightness and air-gauged for uniformity. The chamber is hand-reamed for precision accuracy and a recessed muzzle crown helps protect the rifling from damage.
DETACHABLE MAGAZINE
Polymer and steel construction is lightweight and extra tough. The innovative spring and follower design minimizes follower tilt for reliable feeding.
60° BOLT LIFT
Short 60˚ bolt lift is fast cycling and allows the hand to easily clear optics.
LARGE BOLT SURFACE AREA
The robust bolt is machined from solid steel bar stock and internally relieved to keep weight low and offer additional rigidity. A durable chrome finish is quiet and offers smooth cycling. Three locking lugs provide exceptional bolt strength.
BOLT LOCK OVERRIDE BUTTON
The bolt lock override button allows the bolt to be opened with the safety in the on safe position, providing an extra margin of security when checking and unloading the chamber.
TOP-TANG SAFETY
The top-tang safety is easy to reach with the shooting hand and operate with the thumb. It blocks the trigger sear and features a firing pin block for added security.
INFLEX RECOIL PAD
The Inflex recoil pad features internal directional ribs that move the comb down and away from the cheek to reduce felt recoil and increase shooting comfort.
