Browning's AB3 Hunter is a plain-spoken bolt-action rifle: .308 Win, a 22-inch button-rifled barrel in matte blue, a Black Walnut stock and a detachable magazine that holds five rounds plus one chambered. It weighs 6.11 pounds and runs 42 inches overall. The muzzle has a recessed target crown, the butt wears an Inflex recoil pad that steers movement away from your cheek, and the receiver is drilled and tapped for scope bases.

.308 Win covers both of Oregon's big-game rules, the .22-caliber floor for deer and the .24 floor for elk, and as a manually operated rifle the five-round limit on semi-automatics does not apply. Western Oregon's general rifle buck season runs October 3 to November 6 in 2026; eastern buck tags are now all controlled hunts you draw for. General elk tags cover the West Cascade season, November 7 to 13, and the Coast seasons later that month. The top-tang safety has a bolt unlock button, so you can unload at the truck with the safety still on.
