The Browning BAR Mk4 Hunter Composite is a semi-auto hunting rifle chambered in .243 Winchester and built for hunters who want fast follow-up shots on big game (brand part no. 039007211). Browning‘s gas-piston operating system cycles clean and trims felt recoil, while a seven-lug rotating bolt locks securely into the barrel for a tight, repeatable breech-to-chamber relationship. The composite stock is shim-adjustable for cast and comb height, so shooters can dial in a personalized fit without sending the rifle to a gunsmith. A raised SoftFlex cheekpad keeps the eye aligned with a scope, and the fluted, non-reflective matte blue barrel sheds weight without sacrificing rigidity. Whether it is opening morning in the brush or a long glassing session on open ground, this BAR Mk4 is built to run hard and point fast.
