Browning A-Bolt Composite Stalker Super Short Action .243 WSSM Bolt-Action Rifle with Threaded 22" Barrel
This Browning A-Bolt Composite Stalker Super Short Action is chambered in the fast, flat-shooting .243 WSSM and was produced in Japan by Miroku during the model’s limited 2003–2007 run. A factory graphite-reinforced composite stock keeps weight down, while the super short action and 60° bolt lift deliver quick cycling. A threaded sporter barrel with an installed muzzle brake, detachable three-round box magazine, and Leupold 1" rings round out a practical, feature-rich hunting rifle that is increasingly hard to find.

The super short action was engineered specifically for Winchester Super Short Magnum cartridges, resulting in a compact receiver that shaves weight and enhances rigidity. The three-lug bolt locks up at 60°, allowing ample scope clearance and quick follow-up shots.
The 22" sporter-contour steel barrel features a chrome-plated bore for corrosion resistance and easy cleaning. Its factory threads host a slotted cylindrical muzzle brake that tames recoil in this high-velocity chambering.
Browning’s graphite-reinforced composite stock was forward-thinking for its era, providing strength without the bulk of traditional synthetics. Molded checkering offers secure grip, while sling swivel studs and a Browning-branded recoil pad add practical field touches.
A tang-mounted safety with red dot indicator gives intuitive, silent control. The detachable magazine is retained by a hinged floorplate, allowing quick reloads while maintaining a clean profile. The rifle ships with Leupold rings already installed, ready for your optic of choice.
