A 100 year history of military and sporting superiority.
Few hunting rifles in history have achieved the status of the Browning BAR. And no other autoloaders have even come close. The line covers a wide range of tastes from the original styling of the BAR Safari, to the working rifle look of the Stalker version to the feature packed Short and Long Trac versions with modern aesthetics and handling features.
The Browning BAR has a long standing tradition for achieving bolt action like accuracy in an autoloading rifle. Some of this is accounted for in the extreme level of precision and careful craftsmanship that goes into every rifle. But the design really sets it apart. The gas system combined with a 7-lug rotary bolt give the shooting significant recoil reduction for comfort, while at the same time locking in bolt action-like accuracy.
To complete the package, the BAR is available in a full spectrum of calibers from the most popular magnum calibers (including the WSMs) down to long range, high velocity varmint class loads.

Features of the BAR.
RECEIVER
The BAR MK 3 uses an aircraft-grade aluminum alloy receiver that is both lightweight and strong.
DETACHABLE BOX MAGAZINE
The detachable box magazine attached to a hinged floorplate allows the shooter to lower the floorplate, detach the empty magazine, and snap in a full magazine in mere seconds.
ACTION
The BAR MK 3 is a gas-operated autoloader with a high-strength, rotating bolt that locks into the barrel. The seven-lug bolt and precise breech-to-chamber relationship offers exceptional accuracy and the strength to handle magnum rifle loads. A strong action bar/inertia block link-up reduces barrel vibration to improve accuracy. An integral buffering system reduces wear and stress on the rifle’s operating system.
INFLEX RECOIL PAD
The Inflex recoil pad features internal directional ribs that move the comb down and away from the cheek to increase shooting comfort.
