A-Bolt Rifles
A-Bolt Rifles
The Classic A-Bolt II. Custom rifle accuracy right out of the box. The classic Browning A-Bolt (often referred to as the A-Bolt II) delivers dependable, pinpoint accuracy that exceeds the stringent standards of the modern rifleman. The renowned A-Bolt has been produced in popular chamberings, materials, and finishes to satisfy your needs in any hunting or shooting situation.
A very sophisticated bolt action. With a short 60° lift, the bolt incorporates a non-rotating bolt sleeve that runs the full 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 II feeds very smoothly because of its unique, patented cartridge depressor that 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. A cocking indicator located at the rear of the bolt offers visual and tactile firing pin status.
Limited Distribution

Today's A-Bolt II rifles are in limited production and are often far more specialized than in the past. Be aware that they are available only in limited distribution at a limited number of dealers, in special models only. But the features that made it famous for decades are still there. Have a look at A-Bolt II rifles and see for yourself why, in the history of Browning, the A-Bolt II is considered one of the best Browning bolt actions ever made, excelling in versatility, accuracy and performance.

What is an A-Bolt? The A-Bolt, A-Bolt II and AB3
The A-Bolt was built in two main series. The original A-Bolt and the A-Bolt II. Both are very similar rifles and are considered part of a design family. The new AB3 -- sometimes also referred to as an A-Bolt -- is a different model and design. Accessories, such as bases and rings, magazines, etc. made for the original A-Bolt and A-Bolt II will not fit the AB3.
