Browning has announced an updated BAR autoloading rifle, the BAR MK3, which features a new receiver profile as well as new stock and forearm design.

Other aesthetics include an engraved lightweight alloy receiver with a satin nickel finish, which complements the hammer-forged blue steel barrel and traditional walnut stock. The rifle comes drilled and tapped for scope mounts. 

The new BAR MK 3 will be offered in the most popular hunting calibers from the whitetail hunter's favorite .243 Win. to the hard-hitting .300 Win. Mag. and many in between—7mm-08 Rem.; 308 Win.; 270 Win.; 30-06 Sprg.; 270 WSM and .300 WSM. Cartridges are fed from a detachable box magazine. MSRP: $1,239.99 to $1,339.99.
