Nosler M48 Mountain Carbon 6.5 PRC Rifle - Granite Green Finish

The Nosler M48 Mountain Carbon 6.5 PRC rifle delivers serious mountain-hunting capability without the weight penalty or wallet drain that ultra-lightweight rifles typically demand. Built on Nosler's proven M48 action and paired with a 24-inch carbon fiber-wrapped, cut-rifled barrel, this rifle achieves sub-MOA accuracy in a package that tips the scales at just 6 pounds—light enough to carry all day, rigid enough to shoot when it counts. The granite green carbon fiber stock and tungsten grey Cerakote metal finish blend function with field aesthetics, while the 5/8x24 threaded muzzle gives you suppressor or brake options down the road.

Every component is chosen for mountain hunting duty. The Timney trigger with two-position safety provides the control you need on steep terrain, while glass and aluminum pillar bedding ensures the barreled action stays put shot after shot. The hinged floorplate keeps things simple—no gimmicks, just reliable field-proven design. The 1-in-8 twist rate stabilizes 6.5 PRC's full range of modern bullet weights, and the short-action platform keeps overall length to 44.5 inches, ideal for navigating brush and tight shooting lanes. Magazine capacity runs to 3 rounds.

This is a rifle built for hunters who refuse to compromise between weight, accuracy, and price. Nosler backs it with a sub-MOA accuracy guarantee when fired with their prescribed ammunition—a promise few manufacturers make without hedging. Whether you're glassing basins at elevation or making a careful stalk through timber, the M48 Mountain Carbon handles the job with the balance and confidence of a rifle that actually understands mountain hunting.
