Browning AB3 Hunter 6.5 Creedmoor 22" Walnut

Browning AB3 Hunter: Proven Accuracy and Reliability

The AB3 Hunter represents Browning's commitment to delivering a rifle that performs equally well in the field and at distance. This is a straightforward, no-nonsense bolt-action rifle built on proven principles.

Barrel and Action

The barrel is the foundation of accuracy. Browning uses a cold-rolled steel barrel that is precision button-rifled and free-floated—meaning it does not contact the stock except at the receiver. This design minimizes vibration and delivers consistent accuracy shot after shot.

The AB3 bolt features a rotating head with three locking lugs and a short 60-degree throw. This design allows fast cycling and provides excellent scope clearance, even with larger objective lenses.

Controls and Safety

The top-tang safety is quick to deploy and intuitive. A bolt unlock button allows you to open the bolt for loading or inspection without moving the safety from the safe position—a practical feature for hunters and shooters who value efficiency.

Stock and Ergonomics

The satin-finished walnut stock provides a classic appearance and reliable grip. The 13 5/8" length of pull accommodates most shooters comfortably. Browning's Inflex recoil pad reduces felt recoil through a combination of absorption and directional deflection, pulling the comb down and away from your face during recoil.

Magazine and Capacity

A detachable steel box magazine holds five rounds and allows quick reloading in the field or at the range.
