All Browning A-Bolt II rifles share many common features. One of the most important is a highly refined and adjustable trigger system, which incorporates a chrome-plated sear.
Another key feature is the fluted, anti-bind bolt, which has a non-rotating bolt sleeve with a rotating head and three locking lugs rather than the usual pair. This allows a short 60 degree bolt handle lift for fast cycling and increased scope clearance. It also has a recessed bolt face with a plunger ejector. The small, cleverly shaped, claw extractor is built into the front of one of the locking lugs. A gas escape port vents into the magazine well. The bolt knob is one of the highlights of the design. It is a smooth flattened circle in shape, canted at an ergonomic 30 degree angle. This knob fits the hand more naturally than any other design I have used. There is also a streamlined shroud at the back of the bolt to keep escaping gas out of the shooter's face, and a cocking indicator. The bolt release is at the left rear of the receiver.
