The Browning AB3 Pro Composite .30-06 is a bolt-action hunting rifle chambered in .30-06 Springfield with a 22-inch barrel from Browning (brand part no. 035851226). The AB3 Pro line adds a spiral-fluted barrel and bolt body, a threaded muzzle with a thread protector, and a two-piece bolt handle with a teardrop knob. The action is bedded and the barrel is free floated for consistent accuracy, with a short 60-degree bolt lift that clears scope turrets. It is built as a hunting rifle for the field, wearing a weather-resistant composite stock.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is it drilled and tapped for a scope? Yes. Browning lists this rifle as drilled and tapped for scope mounts, so a base and rings go on without gunsmithing.

Is the muzzle threaded? Yes. The AB3 Pro Composite muzzle is threaded, and a thread protector is supplied for when nothing is mounted.
