Overview
The BAR autoloading rifle is nothing short of a legend. Featuring short stroke, gas piston operation and a strong, rotary bolt design, these rifles are capable of bolt-action accuracy. This special model follows after our other guns that share the “Speed” moniker. Every Speed firearm is built to be more concealable, durable and lighter, making them the perfect tools for serious hunters and shooters who need gear as lean and tough as they are.
Originally designed by Browning family member Bruce Browning, the original civilian BAR was the rifle that set the standard for autoloading hunting rifles. The latest MK 3 version builds on the previous iterations with contemporary styling, Browning OVIX Camouflage, a precision alloy receiver and a hammer-forged fluted barrel. The BAR features accuracy and performance that will make autoloading enthusiasts out of the most skeptical riflemen.
Classic in looks and contemporary in performance. The BAR MK 3 is the hunting rifle that sets the bar for every other autoloader on the planet with accuracy, speed and caliber selection unmatched by any other hunting autoloader. The MK 3 is available in the most popular hunting calibers from whitetail hunter’s favorite 243 Winchester to the hard-hitting 300 Winchester Magnum. Cartridges are fed from a detachable box magazine that attaches to the hinged floor plate, so be sure to keep a spare in your pocket for fast reloads.
NOTE: Unless specifically listed as included with a firearm, accessories shown such as scopes, optical sights, rings, ring mounts, optic rails, bipod rails, ammunition, etc. are NOT included. Accessories are available at authorized Browning dealers and here on Browning.com.
