The Browning® AB3™ Composite Stalker Bolt-Action Rifle is a no-frills hunting rifle that's big on performance. The AB3 bolt assembly utilizes Browning's famous anti-bind bolt with 3 locking lugs (instead of 2 on Mauser-type actions). 3 locking lugs allow a short 60-degree bolt handle lift for fast cycling and increased scope clearance. The bolt knob's shape is slightly flattened and canted at an ergonomic 30-degree angle that fits the hand naturally. Your glove won't get caught between your scope and the bolt knob at the moment of truth with an AB3, and neither will the bolt bind up. The button-rifled, free-floated barrel delivers precision accuracy , and a unique integrated trigger design provides a crisp 3-1/2 pound pull that breaks clean and crisp. The Composite Stalker comes with a rugged, matte black, weather-resistant synthetic stock with molded-in texturing on the forend and pistol grip, and the barrel and receiver are blued with a non-reflective matte finish. Browning's Inflex Technology™ recoil pad tames recoil considerably. A detachable staggered box magazine allows quick re-loading with extra magazines. The Browning AB3 Composite Stalker Bolt-Action Rifle utilizes a top-tang safety with a bolt unlock button that allows you to open the bolt for loading or inspection with the tang safety in the safe position. The receiver comes drilled and tapped for scope mounts using two 8-40 screws for each base, providing a rock-solid attachment point for optic sights.

Browning AB3 .300 win magHave that rifle for 3 years and its keep impressing me. Got Talley one piece mounts and bushnell 4-14 scope. Accuracy is unbelievable, i got sako a7 in .270 and tikka t3x in .223 with their accuracy guarantee and browning just as accurate. Only thing i dont like is magazine, plastic with steel lips, looks very cheaply made, but it works. Stock also doesnt seen to be hollow on inside and doesnt make much noise. If that rifle came in .223 i would have 2 browning rifles by now.

Barrel RustI bought an AB3 and sent it back to Browning after realizing the barrel was covered in rust after throughly cleaning. Browing sent it back with rust still on barrel and said it met or exceeded their quality standards. Customer service was less than helpful.
A brand new rifle shouldn't have rust issues right out of the box. Very disappointed. Browning has no warranty either. Worst gun purchase I've ever made.

AB3 in 6.5 CreedmoorI switched from a Remington 700 SPS Varmiter in .308 to a AB3 in 6.5 Creedmoor and I've never looked back. The gun is light, trigger is crisp, recoil pad is descent, and the action is smooth. This is what I consider a perfect all around hunting rifle for North and South Carolina.

Browning ab3 hunter 30.06I bought this rifle in 30.06 and mounted a leupold 3-9x40 vx1 . Pretty good finish for the price, very accurate (1 inch grouping) at 100 yards. But you can have a x-bolt hunter for a couple of hundreds more.Better bolt, better barrel that would take longer to heat at the range.

Affordable BrowningWas looking for a quality rifle at a decent price which is not easy to find. I have a browning BAR safari so was excited to see Browning with a value priced rifle. The AB3 is the same mechanism as the A-bolt but with composite stock. Perfect compromise for a quality firearm and a modern weather friendly exterior. I bought it for my son for deer season. Got it in 30-06 and Paired it with a leuopold vx1. Sighted it in quickly and it shoots flawlessly. Top mounted safety and detachable box clip. My son had no problem taking down a deer opening day.
It's priced as good or better than lower end Remington and others but in my opinion better quality. You can't go wrong with a Browning and it's nice to see them offer a superior rifle at a low price point. The staff at the cabelas Hammond IN store was very helpful too.

Best rifle in price rangeI bought this fairly new model in .300 Win caliber as an 'extra' rifle for bear hunting. It seemed like a solid alternative to comparable Remington's and since Browning seems to do all things well (for firearms), I decided to give it a try. I was pleasantly surprised with its performance; the weight and feel, as well as the bolt-action were what I expected but the trigger response was much better than anything I've experienced in rifles of this price-range. Build quality and fit/finish are what you would expect in a Browning product; very good, even though this is their low-end model. This is a consistent performer that gives a good return on its relatively low investment.
