Browning 035800282 AB3 Stalker 6.5 Creedmoor 22" 6-Round Bolt-Action Rifle

The Browning 035800282 AB3 Stalker 6.5 Creedmoor 22" 6-round bolt-action rifle is purpose-built for hunters and tactical shooters who demand precision at extended ranges without excess weight. Chambered in 6.5 Creedmoor—a cartridge engineered for superior ballistic efficiency and minimal wind drift—this rifle delivers flat trajectories and consistent accuracy from 300 to 1,000 yards. At 8.8 pounds, it strikes the optimal balance between durability and portability, making it equally at home in a blind or during long-range field operations.

Built on Browning's proven AB3 action, this stalker variant features a rigidly bedded bolt system that cycles smoothly while maintaining repeatable lockup—critical for sub-minute-of-angle grouping. The 22-inch barrel provides the velocity-accuracy sweet spot for 6.5 Creedmoor, generating ballistic performance without the muzzle blast or recoil management issues of longer barrels, while the 6-round capacity offers adequate ammunition supply for most tactical and hunting scenarios. The rifle's lightweight profile derives from efficient metal construction and elimination of unnecessary ornamentation, keeping you mobile without sacrificing structural integrity or ergonomic control.

Law enforcement precision marksmen, long-range hunters, and competition shooters benefit most from this platform's inherent accuracy and 6.5 Creedmoor's proven track record in demanding environments. The AB3 Stalker integrates seamlessly with modern optics—mount a quality variable-power scope for standoff distances or close-quarters scenarios—and feeds reliably with factory and handloaded ammunition. This FFL firearm requires proper licensing for purchase and transfer; verify local and federal regulations before ordering.
