Nosler M48 Independence 22 Nosler 15 inch 1 round Gun Metal Grey Cerakote

The Nosler M48 Independence 22 Nosler is a precision bolt-action handgun built on the trusted Nosler Model 48 short action and assembled by the gunsmiths in Nosler's Bend, Oregon rifle division, offering handgun hunters a purpose-built tool for long shots and controlled single-shot work where accuracy and handling matter. From its one-piece billet aluminum mid-grip stock that creates a rigid, bedded platform to the 15-inch heavy-contour, fully free-floated 416R stainless barrel with a threaded muzzle for muzzle brakes or suppressors, every feature supports consistent groups for varmint work, silhouette matches, and pursuing big game with a handgun. The barreled action wears NIC Industries Cerakote—Matte Black on metal and Gun Metal Grey on the stock—while AR-15 grip compatibility lets you tailor ergonomics, though it ships with a comfortable black Hogue Overmolded rubber grip with finger grooves. As a single-shot, solid-bottom receiver design chambered in 22 Nosler with a 1-round capacity, the M48 Independence delivers simple, repeatable operation and portability at 22.5 inches overall and roughly 6.5 pounds without optics; FFL transfer is required. If you want a dedicated bolt-action pistol from the Nosler M48 series that balances precision, modularity, and rugged construction, this is a standout option.
