Browning AB3 Hunter 7mm Rem Mag Overview
The AB3 is the Browning answer to hunters who want a dependable, accurate bolt gun at a working price. It shares design ideas with the X-Bolt, including a 60 degree bolt lift and a top tang safety, without the premium features that drive up cost. The Hunter version dresses it up with a walnut stock for hunters who prefer wood.
60 Degree Bolt Lift
The short 60 degree bolt lift cycles quickly and lets your hand clear large scope turrets. Browning also uses a large bolt surface area for strength and smooth feeding.
Free Floating Barrel
The 26 inch sporter barrel is free floated, so the stock does not touch it and shift your point of impact as the weather changes. It has a 1:9.5 twist.
Top Tang Safety and Bolt Lock Override
The top tang safety is easy to reach with your thumb, and the bolt lock override button lets you work the bolt to unload the rifle with the safety on.
Walnut Stock
The black walnut stock has a satin finish and a classic sporter shape. Browning lists a 13 5/8 inch length of pull. Wood looks great but needs a little care, so wipe it down after a wet hunt.
Detachable Box Magazine
The detachable double stack box magazine holds 3 rounds and makes loading and unloading quick and safe. Spare magazines are available from Browning.
Who the AB3 Fits
The AB3 is a good fit for a first deer rifle, a truck gun or a backup rifle for a hunting camp. It gives up some of the refinements of the X-Bolt, such as the adjustable Feather Trigger and integrated scope mounts, but it keeps the things that matter most for filling a tag: a free floated barrel, a smooth bolt and a reliable detachable magazine. Pair it with a quality scope and good factory ammunition and most owners find it shoots well past typical whitetail distances.
The 7mm Rem Mag Cartridge
The 7mm Remington Magnum delivers flat trajectories and strong energy for elk, mule deer and open country hunting, with recoil that most shooters handle well, especially with the muzzle brake.
Mounting a Scope
The receiver is drilled and tapped for scope bases. Make sure any bases or rings you buy list the AB3.
