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. It is a popular hunting rifle due to its accuracy and availability. The A-Bolt rifle is a bolt-action rifle with a short-lift bolt angle of 60 degrees. It uses a non-rotating bolt sleeve (partial sleeve on first generation A-bolt rifles). When the bolt is unlocked, smoothness is achieved with three guide ribs aligned with three locking lugs, enabling precise movement (only on the second and third generation A-bolt rifles). hese three locking lugs also greatly increase bolt strength.[citation needed] The bolt's smoothness is also increased with a unique cartridge depressor; the cartridge depressor stays in place independent of the bolt's position. 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.

Browning A-Bolt Capacity

The Browning A-Bolt is available in 243 Winchester, 7mm08, .308 Winchester, .30-06, .270 Winchester Short Magnum and .300 Winchester Short Magnum and feeds from an internal 4 round magazine.


The A-Bolt can weigh as little as 6 pounds and as heavy as 9.5 unloaded and can measure 42 to 48 inches long depending on the specific model you want.  If you get a heavier one, you’ll be glad that sling swivels are available with every gun.  The lack of protruding edges is the best advantage for mobility as it won’t catch on foliage as easily.
