For 2016 we wanted to distinguish this rifle from other products of similar name in the marketplace, and have re-designated this Model 48 rifle as the“Liberty”. The Model 48 Liberty™ possesses all the traits that have earned Nosler Rifles a reputation for fantastic performance and robust dependability. Featuring a lightweight synthetic stock, top quality components, and protected by a hearty all-weather finish, the Model 48 Liberty Rifle is ready for any condition Mother Nature has to offer.
With available cartridge chamberings ranging from the 22-250 Remington to the hard-hitting 35 Whelen, and our premier new cartridges, the 26 Nosler, 28 Nosler, and 30 Nosler, there is a rifle for everyone in the Model 48 Liberty lineup. When used in conjunction with prescribed Nosler Ammunition, shooters can expect sub M.O.A. three shot groups at 100 yards. Whether you are punching holes in paper, or putting meat in the freezer, the Model 48 Liberty is sure to become the rifle you reach for time and time again.

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.
Properly "Caliber 30 Model of 1906," the 30-06 was developed at Springfield Armory for the 1903 Springfield rifle. The original 1903 cartridge, though very similar, used a round-nosed 220-grain bullet; the 1906 version used a 150-grain spitzer bullet with a slightly shorter case neck and case length of 2.494-inches. The 30-06, in Springfield, 1917 Enfield, and M1 Garand rifles, remained America's service cartridge through the Korean War. It was the most powerful cartridge ever adopted by a major military, and over time became America's most popular hunting cartridge. Today there are many good choices, but the 30-06 remains extremely popular throughout the world, suited for most North American big game and equally effective for African plains game. The most common standard loads today feature: 150-grain bullet at 2910 feet per second; 165-grain bullet at 2800 fps; and 180-grain bullet at 2700 fps. Choices in both rifles and ammunition are almost limitless.
