The Nosler M48 Mountain Carbon is a lightweight bolt-action rifle built on the Nosler Model 48 action and fitted with a carbon-wrapped, cut-rifled barrel for precision in a compact package. It pairs a carbon fiber Mountain Hunter stock with Tungsten Grey Cerakote metalwork to provide weather resistance and reduced carry weight while retaining accuracy. The rifle is intended for mountain hunting and long-range field shooting where reduced pack weight and sub‑MOA potential are priorities. A Vortex Viper PST Gen II 3-15×44 riflescope, priced under $1,000, is a practical optic choice that complements the M48’s precision and range capability.
