Features:
Barrel-Free floating, glass bedded at the recoil lug to maintain the proper spacing around the barrel and provide consistent accuracy. Recessed muzzle.
Bolt-60 degree throw. Utilizes a non-rotating bolt sleeve that runs the entire length of the bolt. When unlocked, three guide ribs on the bolt sleeve align with the three locking lugs to allow the bolt to slide smoothly. When locked, these three lugs provide massive bolt strength. The A-Bolt feeds very smoothly because of its unique, patented cartridge depressor. This cartridge depressor stays in position, independent of the bolt rotation, as the bolt slides gently over the cartridges in the magazine. The bolt face is recessed, completely surrounding the cartridge base.
BOSS- (Ballistic Optimizing Shooting System) The Boss offers unmatched versatility in terms of bullet selection. This is perhaps the greatest feature of Boss technology. Improving on the accuracy that Browning rifles have always been known for is virtually impossible. The Boss simply provides that accuracy regardless of ammunition brand, bullet type or weight. The Boss is a simple system consisting of a weighted body and a threaded adjustment ring. By turning the Boss, the rifle can be tuned to any load.
Magazine-Hinged floor plate with detachable box magazine to make it simple and fast to load with a spare loaded magazine.
Recoil Pad-Standard on all models.
Safety-Top-tang, thumb-operated safety can be actuated or released with the thumb without changing from a shooting grip.
Sights-A-Bolt Stalker models are supplied with the receiver drilled and tapped for installation of scope mounts.
Sling Swivels-Michaels post-type swivel studs, swivels not included.
Trigger-Chrome-plated trigger sear for cleaner, crisper trigger pull. Screw adjustable. Pre-set at approximately 4 pounds.
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.
