Gear 101 - Browning Automatic Rifle Mark III Hell's Canyon Speed

[@edwarddesoignie1194]

Credit needs to go to John Browning’s grandson Bruce for engineering the civilian BAR many of us have used. He died in 2019. Thank you sir.

[@richardpugliese3391]

I bought a Bar Mark 3 in 2022 . 243 caliber . It’s my 4th firearm in this caliber . All the others were bolt 😅 manually operated. It’s a good shooter, just keep it clean . Should resolve any issues with functioning.

What a beautiful gun! She’s gorgeous especially in a 300 win mag

[@patrikpatriksson]

The BAR Automatic Rifle has nothing to do with the hunting rifle except both are produced by Browning (well, the hunting rifle is produced by FN and assembled in Portugal).

[@craigmonty8343]

Got one recently in 308! Unbelievably light and accurate gun and pulls up beautiful! Like it a lot better than my R1 Benelli!

[@anonymousf454]

I was thinking about getting either one. Why is it better?

[@craigmonty8343]

@@anonymousf454 honestly it’s more accurate and it’s lighter and actually a little bit less expensive. Don’t get me wrong I like my R1. I’ve had it a long time first come out and they were the big deal. But the Browning is awesome.

[@anonymousf454]

@@craigmonty8343 Cool...Man I like the look of the Browning Safari MK2, but I bet it weighs a ton. What is the weight of your rifle and what kind of accuracy do you get from it?

[@jackburton307]

Damn good looking gun and durable too! I just wish I could find one in 300 WSM!!

[@1941392]

They make it in WSM.

[@jackburton307]

@@1941392 right. I just couldn't find one at the time. I got the Hells Canyon version in the 300 wsm

[@1941392]

@@jackburton307 it’s an awesome caliber and probably great case size for a semi-auto.

[@robertbarlow6715]

Got one for my granddaughter in 270 wood grain stock.

[@jaredleicht1656]

I'm surprised the barrel doesn't come with a muzzle break. Especially for the larger caliber.

[@craigmonty8343]

Around 7 pounds with scope. With Hornaday superformance 150 grains 1/2 in moa at 100 yards with 5 shot groups

I had a BAR 20 years ago. I hope they have improved the trigger

Wear a plate carrier. That should help a bit. Lol

Yeah, this one is also call a BAR, which the Browning automatic Rifle is also call a BAR.

[@dennisrose4397]

B-b-but w-where’s the 20 round mag ? 🥺

[@AdurianJ]

You need to buy an FNAR mag well for that !

[@BMWQC]

Elk woods of Pennsylvania? From a company that is located in a trophy elk state. They are being really nice to Pennsylvania with elk woods, it’s more of great whitetail state.

[@johnbowden9578]

They got the states backwards.

[@MrDuplex97]

Isn't big game hunting with semi autos in Pennsylvania illegal?

[@blagdaross5953]

Semiautomatic (autoloading) rifles, and air- or gas-operated rifles and manually op-erated handguns may be used for hunting small game and furbear-ers. Semiautomatic rifles may not be used for hunting deer, bear, turkey or elk. Hunting with semiautomatic handguns is prohibited. Semiautomatic centerfire shotguns that propel single-projectile ammunition can now be used while hunting deer, bear and elk.

[@jamesjackal1819]

I like it, and would purchase a 7mm mag model, but i don't want a 24" inch barrel. Soooo reckon i won't be purchasing one anytime soon lol....

[@easucks1776]

You can get a barrel chop done professionally relatively cheap

[@rockie307]

7mm mag needs a 24" barrel minimum anything shorter isn't worth it.

[@zdwaffles]

Too bad I can’t find any 20 round mags for my Mk3 dbm

[@ninegeorge]

Is it terrible for me to want one in 30-06 when I already have a reliable 30-30 that fulfils my big game needs?

[@rmef]

Terrible? Absolutely not. Encouraged? Absolutely.

[@nathankaiser5592]

There is a spotless used BAR in 30-06 at my local gun shop for $500. I'm tempted to buy it but i already have one in 300 win mag

[@rmef]

Hmmm. We will put that on the list.

I like the mk2 better it doesn't have as much aluminum !

[@2ndamendment1776]

Mk 2 Safari in .300 Win. Mag. Helluva rifle.

[@acevent5759]

It needs a muzzle brake and it’s not too accurate of a rifle . I saw a guy bring one to the range one time and he told me over 100 yards the gun was pretty useless.
