Design Philosophy
The composite stock provides genuine weather resistance without the weight penalty of traditional wood. The Olive Drab Green finish blends practical aesthetics with functional durability. The heavy sporter barrel profile delivers the accuracy you need while remaining reasonably portable.
The 22-inch barrel length strikes a balance between velocity and handling. Browning engineered this length specifically for suppressor use, making it an excellent choice if you plan to run a suppressor for hearing protection or reduced report.
