Key features and how they perform

Barrel, thread, and muzzle control

The free-floating, sporter-contour 22″ barrel with M13 x .075 threading is a standout for shooters who plan to fit muzzle devices or suppressors. The included radial muzzle brake mitigates recoil impulse and muzzle rise, which is especially useful when paired with the .243 Win cartridge for rapid, accurate follow-up shots at extended varmint and medium-game ranges.

Receiver and action ergonomics

The matte blued, drilled-and-tapped steel receiver simplifies optics mounting and retains the proven Browning action geometry. The bolt includes a larger hex-shaped knob for positive manipulation, and a bolt lock override button enhances safety when loading or handling. Top-tang safety placement is intuitive for hunters moving quickly through terrain.

Stock, finish, and shooter comfort

Available with composite stock treatments—Mossy Oak Bottomland pattern or OD Green—and a Tungsten Cerakote barreled-action finish on some configurations, the package focuses on durability and concealment. Textured grip panels and an Inflex recoil pad improve control and comfort during long sits. With a retail price of $694.99, the rifle delivers competitive features for the value-minded shooter.

Why it matters for the field shooter

Combined with the AB3’s threaded barrel, muzzle brake, drilled-and-tapped receiver, and user-focused ergonomics, this rifle delivers a versatile platform ready for optics and suppression accessories.
