Keeping Traditions Alive Since 1953

There are semi-auto hunting rifles, and then there is the BAR. Browning has been refining this platform since the 1960s, and the MK4 Medallion is the dressed-up version of the latest generation. The receiver wears a matte nickel finish with high-relief engraving, and the Grade III Turkish walnut stock and forearm carry an oil finish with cut checkering. It is the kind of rifle that gets passed around the deer camp before anyone even asks what it shoots.
Under the pretty wood is a short-stroke gas piston system driving a seven-lug rotating bolt that locks directly into the barrel. That tight breech-to-chamber fit is a big reason BARs have a reputation for accuracy that most autoloaders cannot touch. The action bar and inertia block setup tames barrel vibration, and an integral buffering system takes the beating instead of the operating parts, so the rifle stays smooth over years of use. The gas operation also soaks up a good chunk of .308 recoil, and the Inflex pad handles the rest. That makes this an easy rifle to shoot well, and quick follow-up shots come naturally when a buck does not drop on the first one.
The 22 inch fluted barrel is polished and blued, sheds weight and heat, and comes drilled and tapped since there are no iron sights to work around. Add a set of bases and your favorite scope and you are ready for whitetail, hogs, or black bear. The detachable box magazine holds four rounds of .308 Win, giving you 4+1 on board, and the crisp single-stage trigger breaks around four pounds. At roughly 7.2 pounds bare, it carries fine for a walnut-stocked autoloader.
Browning includes shim adjustment for cast and drop at the comb, so you can tune the stock fit the way you would a nice shotgun. Get the rifle lined up with your eye and the scope, and it mounts the same way every time. For hunters who want one rifle that shoots straight, cycles fast, and looks like an heirloom, this one checks every box.
No, it ships without iron sights or optics. The alloy receiver is drilled and tapped, so you just need a set of BAR bases or a Weaver or Picatinny style rail and rings for your scope. Most buyers plan on running glass anyway, and the clean receiver keeps things simple.
It holds its own better than most people expect from an autoloader. The seven-lug rotating bolt locks directly into the barrel for a tight, consistent lockup, and the action bar and inertia block design cuts down on barrel vibration. With good ammo and a solid scope setup, it is plenty accurate for any reasonable hunting distance.
Yes, and that is one of the best things about this rifle. The gas system spreads the recoil impulse out, and the Inflex recoil pad softens what is left, so .308 feels noticeably lighter than it does out of a comparable bolt gun. It makes practice more pleasant and follow-up shots faster.
You can. Browning built shim adjustment into the MK4, letting you tweak cast and drop at the comb so the rifle points naturally and lines up with your optic. It is the same kind of fit tuning you would find on a quality shotgun, and it makes a real difference in consistent mounting.
