Nosler M48 Mountain Carbon Rifle - 28 Nosler, Gray Finish

The Nosler M48 Mountain Carbon Rifle in 28 Nosler is built for hunters who refuse to compromise between weight, accuracy, and reliability. This lightweight hunting rifle tips the scales at just 6 pounds, engineered from the ground up to feel like a natural extension of your arm in the field—no tiring arm fatigue on those long stalks or glassing sessions. Nosler's design philosophy here is straightforward: deliver genuine sub-MOA accuracy and proven dependability without forcing you to choose between a lighter pack and deeper pockets.

The action starts with Nosler's own M48 platform, mated to a 24-inch carbon fiber-wrapped barrel that's cut-rifled to exacting tolerances. This pairing delivers the accuracy you need for long-range hunting without adding unnecessary weight. Everything's glass and aluminum pillar bedded into a carbon fiber Mountain Hunter stock, and all steel surfaces wear a Tungsten Grey Cerakote finish that shrugs off weather and the elements. The 5/8x24 threaded muzzle accepts suppressors and other muzzle devices, while the Timney trigger with two-position safety gives you a clean, intuitive control setup out of the box.

At 45 inches overall with a 13.5-inch length of pull, this is a rifle sized for serious hunters. The 28 Nosler caliber in a Long action delivers serious downrange power and velocity—perfect for open country hunts where distance and wind are factors. Magazine capacity sits at 3 rounds, and the hinged floorplate makes loading and unloading effortless. Nosler guarantees sub-MOA accuracy when you feed it their prescribed ammunition, so you're buying a rifle that's been proven to shoot before it leaves the factory.

Whether you're chasing elk in high country, mule deer across Nevada flats, or anything in between, the M48 Mountain Carbon bridges the gap between featherweight ultralight rifles and the weight penalty most hunters expect to pay.
