The Nosler M48 Independence is a single-shot, bolt-action pistol built for precision-oriented handgun hunting, silhouette shooting, and long-range target applications. Its mid-grip chassis is machined from a one-piece billet of 6061-T6 aircraft-grade aluminum, creating a rigid foundation for the bedded action and fully free-floated barrel.
The M48 Independence uses the Nosler Model 48 short action and is available in several short-action chamberings, including .22 Nosler, .24 Nosler, 6mm Creedmoor, 6.5 Creedmoor, 7mm-08 Remington, and .308 Winchester. Confirm the exact chambering of the individual firearm before publishing or purchasing.
A 15-inch, heavy-contour 416R stainless-steel barrel is free-floated, finished in Matte Black Cerakote, threaded at the muzzle, and supplied with a thread protector. The stock is finished in Gun Metal Gray Cerakote and accepts standard AR-15-style grips. This configuration includes a black Hogue OverMolded rubber grip with finger grooves.
