Been through ARs and mini's but I bought this for hogs. It is one of THE best shooting rifles I have. I love it!

Just ordered this rifle, in Sweden its about 2817 USD, really hope its worth it. Its one of the very few semiautomatic high powered rifles allowed on a rifle license for hunting purposes (one can buy a semiautomatic AR15 on a sporting license but that is a much more complicated qualification process). I will use this rifle for target practice and hunting for moose and hogs. Mostly target practice and future security in Sweden's oncoming ethnoreligious civil war.... :/

John Browning didn't invent that version of the BAR (it's not directly derived from the M1918 Browning Automatic Rifle). Marcel Olinger and Bruce Warren Browning (John Browning's grandson) of the Browning Company developed it in the 1960's. Other engineers have reworked the original [1960's] design ever since, and although it bears a faint cosmetic resemblance of the original BAR, it was not John Browning's design.

Infitech in Sweden makes some pretty sick accessories to the Browning BAR Match which is this guns predecessor.

I have browning bar mk3 308win with a silencer. It works realy good! Thanks browning. Greetings form sweden 🇸🇪

Glad to finally see a video about this gun. I bought one in ATACS LE camo 2 yrs ago. I have Leupold VXR Hog scope on it. Also have FN 20 rd mags for it. Great gun. Accurate, low recoil, reliable, compact and cool. Love it so much I bought the custom wood stock version with flush mag from Performance Shooting for deer hunting.

Love my BAR dbm but Browning needs to get FN to make some more FNAR 20 round mags

I have the Mk3 with the wooden stock in 300WM and it is a sweet shooting gun. We don't have hogs up here in the NW but for moose, bear or really anything up here it's the perfect combo of form and function. Not to mention it looks bee-yutiful. Almost too purty to take in the woods :) And it has less kick than my bolt action 300 so it's a lot easier to shoot overall. Only 3 rounds in the mag and one in the hole, but with a 300 if you need more than four shots you need to practice more before you go out. But... you can also carry an extra mag and pop it in place if need be. Not as quickly as the gun in this video but you can be back in action pretty quick if you practice.

I own one these and I love it. I use it for deer hunting here in Maine. The thick and mountainous terrain in the Eustis area is tough hunting. I am always moving through that crap. I need a quick shot off and this gun is there to deliver. It comes up onto target quickly and is fairly light. It shoots pretty accurately too. I was about 1 1/4 inch groups at 75 yards. That’s great for an 18 inch semi automatic rifle.

My John Browning Designed Winchester Model 94 in 30 WCF Always Works Great For Me But I Wouldn’t Mind Setting the BAR Higher 😀😀😀

I would love to see them bring it out in 9.3x62, also with a 10 round magazine, and a threaded muzzle, and the very low mounted red dot that they offer on some models. And without the HC feature, please.

thanks for this, glad I came across this video.

Be nice if you guys just made all BAR's magazine fed like this variant, including the .30-06 ones. Although it is more baffling is how this BAR DBM is only in .308 when 7mm-08 Remington and .243 winchester use the same casing size and you have the regular BAR's available in those calibers.

Love my dbm. Just start collecting FNAR mags. 20 rounders. 10 round and 5 round which is a pinned 10 round mag. I have a few of these for deer hunting in my state. I mated gun with Leupold vd-5hd 1-5. True 1 power scope. With zero stop Love my gun it’s bad ass and I even keep it in truck as defense rifle. Got mine to shoot sub MoA with Nosler 168 e tip

I've visited a few web sights now, and they all say "I love this gun". They say it like kids on Christmas morning.

Great video, I got one last year in 300 WSM that is a damn cannon my new moose, elk bear gun, but I took down a monster public land buck last season with it on my channel. Was trying to see if my mag detaches like this one or not. great job.

Would like to see this model with a rear thumbole stock design. No other mods are necessary.

Thank you!

I have one in wood with a vortex red dot on it well what a killing machine that is it is an awesome gun

My BLR in .308 will shoot a cloverfeaf at 100 yards with 135gr crimped hollow points. Then move to soft nose boat tail 165gr and shoot 3/4 inch groups at the same distance. Thats a lever gun shooting sub moa. Thats why you buy a Browning.

One day....I'll have the precious...

I love my Browning BAR DBM. But I have been looking for a 3 round mag (for hunting). Preferably one that doesnt stick out so much. Havent found one yet.

270 BAR. My rifle . Wow you got a sweet rifle. Id love to find another BAR 308.

The Springfield M1A scout/Bush rifle is better choice for me. The lack of Iron sights, no threaded muzzle, and 10 round mags double the price makes the Browning a poor choice. I would love the rifle, Browning needs to give a hunter/shooter more for the money. Mike

There’s no engineering cost, they have been making this gun for 55 years!!

Wish they made a long range version. Longer barrel in 6.5 creadmoor, 270 or 300 wsm, maybe even the ole 06 platforms. Or coyote verson in 243, 350 legend, or 300 savage. Heck, be cool to revive 35 Remington in this platform. Be nice to have detachable mag in general...

I would really like it if Browning made a BAR chambered in .375 Ruger with 5 and 10 round detachable box magazines

Now imagine this in .300 Win mag in the same exact format. I know they have the BAR Mark III ,but that's a 3+1 capacity with a hinged magazine. You can't make aftermarket magazines for it to fit. You need to remove the hinge mechanism entirely and convert it to a DBM model. Then manufacture a magazine. Nemo makes those for their Nemo Omen Watchmen rifle. If Browning made a BAR Mark IV DBM .300 Win Mag they could call it the Bear Medicine Defense. The Browning BMD Mark I DBM

What scope is on your gun?

what! in France it is 3 shots maximum for a semi automatic weapon

Why is there no 30-06 version?

Check your facts the Browning Bar civilian version( not the 1918 model) was designed by John M Browning's grandson in 1968

Any chance for a 6.8 western Semi Auto?

It does come in a left handed .

Would have been better if they went with an AICS magazine or something more common than a proprietary design.

Does it accept larger capacity magazines by any chance?

Does it take PMags

Just as .308 is modernized so is 30-06 I would like to see this in the later round.

Question for anyone here - could this be used safely left handed? i.e. will the casings eject safely or possibly hit one in the face? Reason I ask is I am seriously looking for a .243 semi and it is not available left handed anywhere I can find... Thanks in advance for your responses.

Nice. Wear do you go hog hunting for those huge hogs?????

Bring the BPS back

Buy a Remington Woodsmaster model l 742 in 243cal -30-06cal for $250-$500 buy detachable extended mags and have ( almost) the same set up on the cheap. As long as its not wore out, Browning BAR's don't have that problem.

Hundred yard group?

I'd love it too if it were lefthand.

Well, I owned a BAR in 300 win mag. It was honestly the most beautiful rifle I had ever bought and owned. It turned out to be the most expensive boat paddle I had ever bought. Piece of junk, unreliable, and hardly ever function-able. My rifle had been back to Browning’s Missouri services center three times and when it came back the third time I sold it immediately. It had failure to function, failure to cycle, and even failure to feed with multiple premium ammo tried. I was so disappointed in this rifle and in the end with browning that I’ll never own another browning rifle, ever. Browning should have exchanged me another rifle based on a lemon policy after two service attempts, but browning doesn’t even know their own lemon policy and they failed to provided superior customer service. I called, emailed, inquired with sales at the retail store and in the end nothing. If you want a great hog rifle that’s auto. Get an ar platform that reliable and proven. The gas system on a bar is not adjustable unless you want to break your warranty. The gas block screw is painted and tamper proof; so buyer beware. Browning really left me disappointed when they wouldn’t make a purchaser satisfied; this rifle’s retail is around $1200 as well.

Make this into a 30-06!!!!

Please bring back the Browning Hi Power. I plan on becoming a Police Officer or Soldier when I’m older and need a quality weapon like the Hi Power. I’m sure many people agree with me

Damn those hogs were big

I can't find one in Arkansas

What makes this superior to an AR platform ?

Can i get this in .270?!!!!

What is the price tag for that sweet rifle

I would rather acquire a M.1.A if only 308. Give me a beautiful wood stock, a caliber that rocks, and a detachable wood magazine.

Auto loaders will reduce some felt recoil. However if you don't get the trigger time at the range a bolt action or auto loader won't help lack of proficiency. I have an X Bolt topped off with a Z5 3.5-18x44 P BC and only because I practice under hunting conditions do I feel very comfortable that my first shot will be well placed. If all your time ar the range is shooting from a bench you shoot poorly when you shoot from a prone, sitting, kneeling or standing position. If using shootung sticks better take them to the range and practice with the sticks. In Texas we shoot from a blind towards a feeder at a range of 125 yards or less. The limited movement in a confined space of a blind requires a well placed shot the first time. Whatever you shoot get in that time and practice.

Love my JMB MK 3 30-06. Hog killing machine! It blows their lungs out and it's not even 9 mm. Of course my old school Auto 5 will kill their souls at the right distance,😏

I handled one in the gun store a couple of years ago and the stock feels like it's a Barbie playhouse. In the video the action noise is hilarious. I think this is a good example of a gun that needs to have a lot of quality and function changes and updates and have its price cut in half before it becomes something that you want to purchase. Seriously you can get a really good rifle that most likely functions better have updates done by a gunsmith and still by yourself and the family dinner for that price.

Why not just get an AR10?

A bolt action hunting rifle is a repeater. Any gun holding more than one round at a time is a repeater. And John Browning was long dead when the sporting BAR was designed.

I don’t understand the point of only chambering it in .308. For $500 less you can get an AR-10 which is much more modular and has ability for larger mags

I want a BAR MK 3 . But $1700 is a little pricey I just use an AK for hogs cheap rifle cheap ammo

Hmmm, light weight? Browning lists the weight at 7.6lbs. With a 1lb scope and full mag, your looking at over 9+ pounds. Guess I better hit the gym before lugging this thing on a long hunt. Handsome rifle though. The wood version is nicer still.

It’s pronounced. B .....A.......R. The sound of the actual letters not bar , like a bar you drink at . Just FYI

It's more like armed forces sniper rifle.

They make 30 06 with modern powder as well. The end of the day the most powerful 308 round is still not hitting nearly as hard as a buffalo bore 30 06

$90 per magazine.....

200 yds and in, 300blk is ideal for hogs.

Not for nothing, but you don't have to keep a gun to feel beholden to a company. The mere fact that one enjoys a relationship where a company loans guns for reviews is enough to bias reviews.

It would be way better with a 14" barrel. Abolish the NFA!

$1250 for one with no scope

the .308 is not a 30-06..the .308 is overhyped though.

I would love it as well, but does Browning have to make them so ugly?!?

I can not find anything but poor accuracy reviews, what groups can you get at 300 and 400 yards? It is a 308 that should not be too hard

I wondered what Bill Clinton was up to these days! Now I know!

308 for hog?😂😂😂😂😂

smh.... Calling a 308 Mighty is like calling Rosie O'Donnell, beautiful and classy

A bar in anything but 30-06 Is sacrilege

I have an FNAR 20 round mag I think its a cousin of this rifle correct me if I’m wrong.
