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.

1. A Manners MCS-T Elite Tac 100% Carbon Fiber stock specifically made for the Nosler M48 action to provide weight savings and increase comfort. The stock has a high cheek piece for the large bell scopes helping provide the best cheek rest contact and neck relief for prone shooting, and a forend and palm swell featuring a molded texture surface for sure grip when standing for a shot. Weather resistant and pillar bedded for the best durability and precision in the field when it’s needed most.
2. Contoured to accept any standard 2-Piece scope base that would otherwise fit a Remington® Model 700™.
3. All external metal surfaces are coated with the NIC Industries Cerakote™ finish. Designed to protect against rust and wear, Cerakote™ products can withstand tremendous impact with no coating loss, and can resist corrosion in a variety of tough conditions. We have found Cerakote™ to be the best firearm finish available.
4. A textured finish ensures proper grip in cold or wet weather.
5. Fully free-floating PROOF, Sendero contour, carbon fiber-wrapped barrel.
6. A lightweight aluminum floorplate allows for quick unloading, without adding appreciable weight to the rifle.

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 2016, the 30 Nosler is the third of Nosler's growing family of proprietary cartridges, following the 26 and 28 Nosler. Like its predecessors it is based on the .404 Jeffery/Remington Ultra Magnum case with a rebated rim and 2.55-inch case allowing it to be housed in a .30-06-length action. Americans love their .30-calibers and certainly there is no shortage of fast .30-caliber magnums, but with its fat, unbelted case the 30 Nosler has acquired an excellent reputation for accuracy and efficiency. With a 180-grain bullet at 3110 fps the 30 Nosler is similar in performance to the .300 Weatherby Magnum...meaning that it is suited for hunting the full range of non-dangerous game just about anywhere in the world. Because of its modern, efficient case design it has found favor with the growing group of long-range riflemen.
