Utilizing the same gas-action principle his grandfather invented, Bruce Browning designed the BAR (Browning Automatic Rifle). Thirty years later it is still the standard for semi-automatic centerfire hunting rifles.
This BAR Safari features select walnut stock and forearm and deep, high-luster blueing. It is has the BOSS system and no sights. It's extremely accurate with unmatched reliability. (Scope not included)

Standard Features :
Action Type-Gas operated, autoloader with an extra strong multiple lug rotating bolt that locks directly into the barrel. Every cartridge that is loaded into the chamber of the BAR is surrounded by a recessed bolt face, which, in turn, is encircled by the barrel, which, in turn, is surrounded by the receiver. Three rings of steel surround the cartridge.
A seven-lug bolt and precise breech-to-chamber relationship give the BAR an exceptional degree of accuracy and the strength to handle magnum loads.
The strong and very rigid action bar/inertia block link-up improves accuracy by reducing barrel vibration. The buffering system reduces wear and stress on the rifle's mechanism.
Barrel-Individually machined from hammer-forged, heat-treated billets of steel. Boss-equipped BARs are not available with open sights.
BOSS- (Ballistic Optimizing Shooting System) The BOSS allows you to fine tune the BAR's accuracy to surpass that of any other autoloader. In fact, the accuracy of a BOSS-equipped BAR even rivals that of many bolt actions. The BOSS allows you to obtain precision accuracy with commercially available ammunition. In addition to unrivaled accuracy, the BOSS reduces recoil up to 30%.
Boss-CR-This accessory is included with all BOSS-equipped rifles and offers all the accuracy advantages of the original BOSS without the muzzle brake feature.
Bolt Release Lever-Incorporated into the receiver.

300 Wsm
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.
The 300 Winchester Short Magnum (WSM) was introduced in 2001, the first of what would be several short, fat, unbelted magnums from Winchester, Remington, and Hornady. The theory (and reality) is that burning is more efficient when the propellant column is wider in relation to its length, allowing the primer to ignite a greater percentage of the charge. The burning curve is more efficient, and slightly more energy per grain of propellant is produced. Using a 2.1-inch case, the 300 WSM fits into a short (308 Winchest-length) action, yet produces velocity almost equal to the 300 Winchester Magnum, as examples a 150-grain bullet at 3270 feet per second and a 180-grain bullet at 2970. The 300 WSM was first in its class, and America loves its 30-calibers. As a result the 300 WSM has been the most popular of the new short, fat magnums, with ammunition from multiple sources and rifles chambered by numerous manufacturers.
