The A-Bolt Rifle is a bolt-action rifle designed by the American Browning Arms Company. It is manufactured by Miroku Corp in Japan. The A-Bolt replaced the Browning BBR in 1984.

Near the end of the reloading cycle, when the bolt is re-inserted, the bolt moves gently over the cartridges in the magazine. The safety-catch is two-position, and is functioned using a thumb-slide on the action top-strap in the same manner as a shotgun. The barrel is free-floating and the recoil lug is glass bedded.
