Browning AB3 Hunter 6.5 Creedmoor Overview
The AB3 (A-Bolt 3) brings Browning quality to an affordable bolt-action hunting rifle, with a 60-degree bolt lift, a detachable box magazine, and a free-floated barrel for accuracy.
Design and Features
This AB3 Hunter features a matte blued barrel finish, a Satin black walnut stock, and an Inflex 1, Small recoil pad. The barrel has a 1:8-inch twist. Magazine capacity is 4. It weighs 6 lbs 13 oz and measures 42″ overall. Length of pull is 13 5/8″.
Handling in the Field
It shoulders comfortably and balances well, so it carries easily in the field and settles quickly for the shot.
Action and Trigger
The 60-degree bolt lift gives good scope clearance, and the trigger breaks cleanly.
Sights and Optics
Mount the optic of your choice with quality rings or a mount, and zero it with the load you plan to use.
The 6.5 Creedmoor Cartridge
The 6.5 Creedmoor is known for long-range accuracy, a flat trajectory, and modest recoil, with plenty of energy for deer-size game.
Setup and Accessories
Start with a quality optic and solid rings or a mount, then add a sling for carrying and a bipod or shooting bag for steady rests. Test a few loads for accuracy and settle on the one your rifle likes best. A hard case protects your investment on the way to the range or the field.
Ownership Tips
Read the owner manual fully before your first range trip, and keep the manual, box, and receipt with your records for warranty service and resale. Unload the rifle and confirm it is empty before cleaning. Field-strip it according to the owner manual, scrub the bore with a brush and patches, and wipe carbon from the bolt face and chamber. Apply a light coat of quality gun oil to the contact points, and wipe the exterior with a lightly oiled cloth before storage.
