Finding the Perfect “Woods Rifle” or “Brush Rifle” on the GunBroker.com Online Marketplace Zeroing in on a buck hundreds of yards across a grassy plain with a full-length kitted-out Rock River Arms 308 is a great way to get the job done. However, it is not always an option. Trudging through thicker brush or more heavily forested areas can be grueling and calls for a different solution. Enter the “woods rifle” or “brush rifle.” A woods rifle is a light, usually bolt-action rifle or carbine that is accurate, quick-handling, and can cleanly take game like deer, hogs, and possibly black bear. Like virtually any other firearm or firearm class that exists, the best place to look for an effective woods rifle is on the GunBroker.com online marketplace.

Ruger Mini 30 The Ruger Mini 30 is considered something like the godfather of woods rifles by many hunters in the know. Picking up a Ruger Mini 30 from GunBroker.com means picking up a long gun that brings legendary Ruger quality to the table and is renowned as a dead-on tack-driver. That the Ruger Mini 30 clocks in at 7 pounds and feels lighter helps. Chambered in the whitetail-stopping 762x39, the Ruger Mini 30 also delivers the power for clean drops through thick brush. Nosler M48 Mountain Carbon When Nosler entered the firearm game in 2005 (having made nothing but ammunition since their 1948 founding), they did so with a bang, so to speak. As an example, browse GunBroker.com for auctions or sales of the Nosler M48 Mountain Carbon. It is a rifle with a naked weight of 6 pounds chambered in real hitters like 26, 28, 30, and 33 Nosler; 6mm and 65


Creedmoor; and 300 Winchester Mag. Despite the lightness of gun and robustness of cartridges, it is an eminently manageable shooter. Kimber Mountain Ascent Among the thousands of rifles, carbines, and other long guns available for sale and auction on the GunBroker.com marketplace is a woods rifle that is truly exceptional—the Kimber Mountain Ascent. Kimber asserts that their Mountain Ascent is the lightest production boltaction rifle available on the market today. As most models of the Kimber Mountain Ascent begin with a naked weight of 4 pounds, 13 ounces, that is easy to believe. You may be thinking that surely a rifle weighing so little must be a squirrel gun chambered in 22 LR, maybe 22 WMR at a stretch. Nope. The featherweight Kimber Mountain Ascent shoots like a dream chambered in 308 Winchester, 7MM-08 Remington, and 65 Creedmoor.
