Detailed Features 

The sporter contour barrel keeps weight down while maintaining accuracy, and the non-reflective matte blued finish doesn't give away position in the field. Cut checkering on the stock grips reliably even in wet conditions. The Inflex recoil pad meaningfully reduces felt recoil, which helps with follow-up shots and comfort over longer range sessions. The top tang safety falls naturally under the thumb and is fast to operate. 
 
At under 6.7 lbs, the AB3 is easy to carry over rough ground, and the .308 Win cartridge is versatile enough to handle deer and similar game cleanly.
