The Nosler M48 Mountain Carbon Rifle in .28 Nosler (Nosler part no. 47348) is an ultralight mountain hunting rifle that weighs about 6 pounds. Nosler mates its Model 48 action to a match-grade, cut-rifled, carbon fiber wrapped barrel that is capable of sub-MOA accuracy, then beds the barreled action into a carbon fiber Mountain Hunter stock. All of the steel surfaces are coated in Tungsten Grey Cerakote for weather resistance. It is a rifle for hunters who climb for their game and still want a flat-shooting magnum.
