Autoloading hunting rifles demand a balance of reliability, accuracy and handling. For hunters and precision shooters who expect consistent performance in the field, the right semi-auto rifle combines gas system tuning, a rigid barrel and ergonomics that support fast follow-up shots without sacrificing point-of-impact consistency.

BROWNING BAR

Overview

The BROWNING BAR is a third-generation semi-automatic hunting rifle engineered to perform in extreme conditions. Its gas-operated system is built to cycle both standard and magnum cartridges reliably, and the hammer-forged barrel delivers the stiffness and durability shooters need for repeatable accuracy. The receiver is precision alloy and drilled and tapped for scope mounts, making optics integration straightforward for long-range setups.

Key features that matter

This iteration builds on a long family legacy and includes a checkered Turkish walnut stock and forend with a fine oil finish that blends classic aesthetics with modern function. The rifle includes a crossbolt safety and an Inflex recoil-reducing pad to help manage recoil for heavier calibers such as 7mm Remington Magnum and 300 Winchester Magnum. Feeding is via a detachable box magazine with a hinged floorplate—carry a spare magazine for fast reloads in the field.
