Browning A-Bolt Rifle, 7mm WSM, 23″ Barrel

The Browning A-Bolt chambered in 7mm WSM (Winchester Short Magnum) with a factory-standard 23-inch barrel is a premier mountain hunting rifle setup. Produced primarily during the peak popularity of short magnum cartridges in the early 2000s, this configuration utilizes Browning's short-action frame receiver. The 23-inch barrel contour was uniquely chosen by Browning to serve as a perfect ballistic middle ground. It is long enough to effectively burn magnum powder loads while remaining short and light enough for remote, steep backcountry hunting trips.
