The BROWNING BAR Mark III stands out as a precision-focused semi-automatic rifle designed for shooters who demand reliable cycling, accuracy, and a platform that accepts modern optics. In tactical hunting and field roles the BAR balances proven mechanics with user-focused ergonomics, making it a versatile choice for a wide range of conditions.

BROWNING BAR

Performance and operating system

The BROWNING BAR uses a gas-operated system engineered to deliver consistent performance even in extreme conditions. That gas system is tuned to reliably cycle both standard and magnum cartridges, reducing the chance of malfunctions in cold, wet, or dusty environments. A hammer-forged steel barrel with a sporter contour and matte blued finish gives the platform inherent strength and helps maintain point-of-impact shot after shot.

Recoil, controls, and magazine

Ergonomically, the BAR Mark III includes a crossbolt safety and an Inflex polymer recoil-reducing pad to tame felt recoil for follow-up accuracy. The detachable 4-round magazine with a hinged floorplate simplifies unloading and transport. These features make the BAR practical for disciplined follow-up shots during hunting or precision field work.

Optics, stock, and receiver

The engraved receiver is drilled and tapped for scope mounts, allowing easy installation of low-profile or tactical optics. The factory configuration highlights a checkered Turkish walnut stock and forend for traditional balance and feel, while spec sheets note durable composite options and a matte black stock finish on some configurations. Chamber and receiver finishes include chrome-plated chambers and matte-black receiver treatments to aid longevity and corrosion resistance.

View product details and pricing — the listed price for this configuration is $1,171.99, which positions the BAR Mark III as a competitive choice for shooters seeking factory accuracy with semi-auto convenience.

Caliber and field applications

The example specification lists the 30-06 caliber in a long action format with a 22″ barrel and 10″ twist rate—an ideal combination for medium to large game and long-range hunting shots. The 30-06 delivers flat trajectory and strong terminal performance, making the BROWNING BAR suitable for hunting, range work, and tactical field tasks.
