Gun Descriptions

Browning AB3

The Browning® AB3 Hunter Bolt-Action Rifle comes with a satin finished walnut stock that features a straight comb and the Inflex Technology recoil pad. The barrel and receiver feature a matte blued finish, and the receiver is drilled and tapped for scope mounts. The AB3 bolt utilizes a rotating head with 3 locking lugs common to all A-Bolt centerfire rifles. 3 locking lugs allow a short 60° bolt handle lift for fast cycling and increased scope clearance. The bolt knob's shape is slightly flattened and canted at an ergonomic 30° angle that fits the hand naturally. The AB3 uses a top-tang safety that's quick to deploy, and a bolt unlock button allows you to open the bolt for loading or inspection with the tang safety in the safe position. A detachable, steel box magazine allows quick re-loading and safe unloading. A free-floated steel barrel delivers fine accuracy needed for long range shooting. The Browning AB3 Hunter Bolt-Action Rifle represents a great value for a high quality hunting rifle.

Weatherby Vanguard

Weatherby offers 28 versions of its Vanguard rifle, so there's bound to be one to fit your needs. With so many varieties, there are plenty of options – as well as third-party accessories – available for customization, but all Weatherby Vanguard rifles are guaranteed to fire 3-shot groups of .99" or less at 100 yards (SUB-MOA) when used with Weatherby ammo. Weatherby Vanguard rifles also feature two-stage triggers that are honed by hand and then tuned and inspected. The housing is made of an alloy and can be adjusted down to 2.5 pounds. An enclosed sleeve helps redirect gasses and particles in case of rupture and is short to reduce weight. A recoil pad helps reduce strain from shooting. The rifles feature 3-position safeties and are positioned to allow the shooter to work the action while still engaged. This is all built to suit a one-piece machined bolt body, providing maximum strength and structural integrity.
