American Hunter Digital Associate Editor David Herman checks out the Nosler M48 Mountain Carbon rifle.

The M48 Mountain Carbon is perhaps the ultimate do-all rifle. Its carbon-fiber wrapped barrel and high-end carbon-fiber stock results in a sub-.75-inch rifle that handles like an ultralight yet shoots like a mid-weight.

Loaded with premium features, the new M48 Mountain Carbon looks to set a new standard for backcountry hunting rifles.

The Nosler Model 48 Liberty rifle is a traditional, fairly lightweight bolt-action that's meant to join hunters in the harshest locations on Earth.

From its desert tan color to its slick, short-throw bolt, and incredible accuracy, this is a perfect coyote hunting rifle that will easily handle rodent work, too.

The 7-pound Long Range Carbon is a full-length, heavy-barreled rifle that’s just as suited for the sandbags at the target range as it is for slogging through snow and cedars on the crest of a mountain. A heavy barrel and light weight are normally mutually exclusive, but the combination is made possible by carbon fiber.

Featuring a 15-inch stainless steel barrel that’s threaded for a muzzle device or suppressor and chambered in six popular calibers, the single-shot M48 Independence balances well and feels surprisingly good in the hand.
