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 270 Winchester was introduced in 1925 in the Winchester Model 54 bolt-action, forerunner to the Model 70. Based on the 30-06 case necked down, it was the first production cartridge to use a .277-inch bullet. Why this bullet diameter was chosen is not clear. The intent, however, was to create a cartridge that shot flatter than the 30-06 and produced less recoil. This effort was so successful that the 270 Winchester remains the world's most popular 270 cartridge...and since 1925 only three other commercial cartridges have used this bullet diameter. With a 130-grain bullet at 3060 feet per second and a 150-grain bullet at 2950 the 270 is powerful and flat shooting. It is adequate for game up to elk, ideal for virtually all American deer hunting, and, as it's long-time champion, gunwriter Jack O'Connor, so often wrote, it is a marvelous choice for mountain hunting. It is a standard chambering for almost all rifle makers, and choices in factory loads run into the many dozens.
