Design and build: what the hinged floor plate gives you

The hinged floor plate on the NOSLER M48 is a feature many hunters and field shooters appreciate. It allows for quick unloading and easier maintenance in the field without tools—especially useful when you need to clear the rifle rapidly or remove the magazine springs for cleaning. The floor plate’s robust hinge and latch system is engineered to handle repeated service while maintaining reliable retention and release functionality.

Why that matters on a bolt action

On a bolt-action rifle, a solid floor plate reduces complexity compared to detachable box magazines while preserving the practicality of fast unloading. For hunters packing out game or shooters in remote locations, being able to strip or unload the rifle safely and swiftly can be a real advantage.

Optics package: Tasco Custom Shop 8-40X56mm scope

One of the standout items in this Certified Used package is the Tasco Custom Shop 8-40X56mm scope. An 8-40X zoom range covers a broad spectrum of use cases—from close-range precision to long-range target work. The 56mm objective gathers ample light for low-light shooting, and the Custom Shop designation suggests hand-tuning and factory calibration beyond basic optics. Including this scope with the rifle makes the NOSLER M48 a true turnkey solution for shooters who don’t want to spend time matching glass separately.

Pairing a well-built bolt action with a high-magnification scope gives you the flexibility to engage targets at varying distances with confidence. Whether you’re dialing for elevation or holding over, the Tasco’s range supports both target shooters and hunters who anticipate long shots.

Certified Used: quality assurance and peace of mind

The Certified Used stamp is central to the value proposition here. When you see that designation on this NOSLER M48, you’re getting a rifle that has been inspected to meet a high threshold—described as very good to excellent condition. The listing includes a ‘no questions asked’ return policy, which reduces the risk for buyers who want an inspected firearm at a lower price point than new. That assurance makes the $2,184.99 asking price a compelling figure for many buyers.

Certified Used guns often represent the best bang for your buck when factory-new prices are outside your budget but you still require reliability and proper documentation. The inclusion of a sling and the Tasco scope further increases the immediate utility of this package.

Field use and practical applications

This NOSLER M48 package is well-suited to a range of applications: backcountry hunting where a hinged floor plate and sling make for efficient handling, varmint or long-range target work where an 8-40X scope brings distant targets into clear view, and general range use for those refining bolt-action fundamentals. The rifle’s straightforward design supports dependable follow-up shots and consistent accuracy when the shooter keeps fundamentals tight.

Recommended accessories and setup

Even with the included Tasco scope and sling, consider the following to optimize performance:

• High-quality rings or a one-piece mount torqued to spec to maintain zero with the 8-40X scope.
• A bipod or shooting bag for stable long-range engagements at high magnification.
• A maintenance kit that includes a bore guide and cleaning rod to preserve accuracy over time.
