Q&A
The Browning® is the world leader in semi-automatic rifles for big game hunting. At the heart of the Browning BAR Mark III is a gas-operated system with a multi-lug rotary bolt capable of cycling standard or magnum cartridges reliably in extreme conditions. The bolt locks directly into the barrel, giving it incredible strength, while providing exceptional accuracy, and a buffering mechanism reduces wear and stress on the rifle's receiver for longer life and greater reliability. BAR barrels are hammer-forged for outstanding strength and precise accuracy, and the trigger pull breaks like a glass rod. The crossbolt safety offers easy accessibility without removing your firing hand from the stock, so you can quickly manipulate the safety, without losing your sight picture or cheek weld. The Browning BAR Mark III Semi-Auto Rifle comes with an beautiful, checkered Turkish walnut buttstock and forend; the buttstock features an Inflex™ recoil pad to help keep you on target during successive shots. The alloy receiver features scroll engraving; and comes drilled and tapped for scope mounts. A hinged floorplate provides rapid access to the detachable magazine. The rugged and reliable Browning BAR Mark III Semi-Auto Rifle provides the firepower to bring down any big game species in North America.

Nicest 30.06 I ever shotI bought this mk 3 in 30.06 last fall for my 95lb wife she love's it. The gun does not kick and is 1 inch groups at 100 yards. This Browning is nothing but Sweet all around.

Maybe its the SHOOTERBought one, 308 round. I had a blast sighting it in. It takes skill to be accurate with any weapon. Those who are less satisfied, maybe you just cant shoot. But what ever helps you sleep. My wife shoots this and maintains a group or 2-3" at 300 yards.

Poor accuracyI bought a 7mm-08 in this rifle and put a meopta scope on it. The best group out of 4 different ammo makers was 3". Went on to miss 2 deer and 4 coyotes with it. It's now a look at gun in the safe!

Beautiful but less than accurateI've got this in a 7mm-08 and I would never shoot at a deer over 200yds. When sighting in on a solid bench rest, my best 3-shot group was 1.6" @ 100yds. The worst group was 4". I'd say the average group was right around 2". This is my first semi-auto rifle but I had a little higher expectations from Browning. I got similar results using Federal Premium Ballistic Tip 140gr and Winchester Ballistic Silvertip 140gr.

Awesome gunGreat rifle. Smooth action with no jamming issues. Beautiful look and wonderful to shoot. Very accurate, especially for a semi-auto. A little with a scope but to be expected. Little recoil in the 30-06. Overall an absolute blast to shoot. Love it!
I would like the 300 win mag with BOSS. Do you offer the model ?
Asked by: War Child
Thank you for your question. The BAR Mark 3 does not come with the BOSS system and that system has been discontinued.

Just picked up the 30-06 version. Is it a LongTrac or ShortTrac? Looking to pick up an additional magazine for it.
Asked by: DCT1
Can you ease the action closed and be able to fire or does it have to slam forward like the old Woodsmaster 742 to be able to shoot? Don't like to have to slam it shut while sitting on the deer stand. Thanks!

Would this be a good gun for a 13 year old?
Asked by: Parks44
Thank you for your question!
Unfortunately, there are a few different variables involved here, so an exact answer isn't really going to be possible. The main factor is going to be the 13 year-old them-self. If they're a comfortable shooter, then depending on the caliber this should be an okay rifle, but it's going to depend on the kid. I would not necessarily recommend the higher calibers, like the .30-06 variant, though.
If they're newer to shooting or shooting bigger rifles, I wouldn't go with a caliber larger than the .270 version of this rifle, and I would recommend looking into other rifles if this is going to be their first gun. You may want to look into .223 rifles , especially if you're looking for something for target shooting rather than hunting.
The main thing is to know the shooter first, and make an educated decision from there.
I hope this information helps!
