The Browning BAR has been riding along in deer camps and timber stands for close to six decades, and the MK4 Hunter is the latest chapter in that story. This one is built for hunters who want the speed of a semi-auto without giving up the accuracy you'd expect from a bolt gun. Chambered in .308 Win with a fluted, non-reflective matte blued 22-inch barrel and a lightweight aluminum alloy receiver, it tips the scale right around 7 pounds and carries easy through the woods all day.
The big upgrade on the MK4 is the barrel threading directly into the receiver rather than the clamped setup used on the older MK3. That tighter breech-to-chamber fit, paired with the high-strength seven-lug rotary bolt that locks into the barrel itself, is what gives this rifle its accuracy edge. Independent testing has put groups in the 1.2 to 1.8 inch range at 100 yards, which is genuinely impressive for an autoloader. The short-stroke gas-piston action bleeds off excess gas to keep felt recoil mild and cycling smooth across a wide spread of factory loads, so cold-weather reliability stays solid when the hunt gets ugly.
The Mossy Oak Bottomland camo does a real job breaking up your outline in woodland and swamp bottoms, not just looking good on the rack. The composite stock is weather-resistant and shim-adjustable for cast on/off and drop at comb, so you can dial in a fit that puts your eye right behind the scope. A raised SoftFlex cheekpad and overmolded gripping panels keep things comfortable and secure in wet hands, and the Inflex recoil pad directs the comb down and away from your face when the shot breaks.
It ships without iron sights, and the receiver comes drilled and tapped so you can mount the scope of your choice and be ready to go. The rifle feeds from a detachable box magazine with a hinged floorplate, giving you 4+1 in .308. Sling swivel studs plus QD cups make hanging a sling quick and painless for those long walks in and out.
It punches well above what most folks expect from an autoloader. The new threaded barrel-to-receiver interface and the seven-lug bolt that locks into the barrel give it a tight, repeatable lockup, and field testing has produced groups in the 1.2 to 1.8 inch range at 100 yards with quality ammo. That's plenty for ethical shots on deer, bear, and hogs at typical hunting distances.
The rifle ships without iron sights, but the receiver is drilled and tapped from the factory so mounting a scope is straightforward. You'll want to pick up bases, rings, and the optic of your choice to get it ready for the field. Most hunters pair it with a low-to-mid power variable scope that suits woods and timber ranges.
It's surprisingly gentle. The gas-piston action bleeds off excess gas as it cycles, which soaks up a good chunk of the recoil, and the Inflex pad directs the comb down and away from your cheek. Combine that with the rifle's weight and .308 is a genuinely comfortable round to shoot all afternoon.
The main draw is the fast follow-up shot. When a buck breaks running or a bear gives you a narrow window through brush, the semi-auto action lets you get back on target without breaking your cheek weld to cycle a bolt. You get autoloader speed with accuracy that holds its own against bolt guns, which is exactly what the BAR has been known for over its long run.
