This Model 48 Mountain Carbon features a 24" barrel with a tungsten grey cerakote finish and carbon fiber wrap, granite green carbon fiber stock, two position safety, and it's chambered in 26 Nosler.
New for 2018, the Nosler® Model 48 Long Range Carbon™ includes all of the same features that made the Model 48 Long Range a success with the addition of a PROOF Research™, carbon fiber-wrapped, match-grade barrel. By combining precision machining with space-age materials technology, the PROOF barrel reduces the overall weight of the rifle while providing the utmost accuracy and durability. PROOF’s carbon fiber-wrapped barrels are not only lighter, they are stiffer, and dissipate heat better than traditional stainless barrels for enhanced accuracy, shot after shot. Precisely mated to a trued and faced Model 48 receiver and bedded in a Manners® MCS-carbon fiber stock, the PROOF barrel brings space-age technology to your next hunting rifle.
The Model 48 LR-Carbon is an excellent choice for mountain hunting, backcountry excursions, and long range competition. Born in the wide-open expanses of the west, the Model 48 Long Range Carbon™ is perfect for any situation where ranges may be long, and weight is a concern.

The information below comes from our Gun Caliber Dictionary and is for
general reference only. It does not describe the specifications of this
particular item.
Introduced in 2014, the 26 Nosler was the first SAAMI-standardized cartridge to bear the Nosler name, and part of Nosler's growing family of proprietary cartridges that now include 22, 28, 30, and 33 Nosler. The 26 Nosler and all except the 22 Nosler are based on the .404 Jeffery or Remington Ultra Mag case necked down and shortened to fit into a .30-06-length-action. The 26 Nosler is a 6.5mm, bullet diameter .264-inch. Although recently surpassed by the 6.5-.300 Weatherby Magnum, upon introduction the 26 Nosler was the world's fastest 6.5mm cartridge, propelling a 140-grain bullet at 3300 fps, thus greatly exceeding the old .264 Winchester Magnum and the newer 6.5mms such as the .260 Remington, 6.5mm Creedmoor, and 6.5-.284 Norma. The 26 Nosler is overbore capacity, limiting powder selection and barrel life, but it is a flat-shooting and hard-hitting cartridge ideal for mountain game and suitable for elk and moose.
