Is this model able to have a pick rail added for a scope.... I see them in reviews. But, no mention if it's an DIY mount or, pay a gun smith a few hundred to mount... https://www.budsgunshop.com/product_info.php/products_id/98367/browning+ab3+hunter+30-06+springfield+bolt+action+rifle

It is drilled and tapped for mounts or rails but does not include any. When looking for rail options just be sure to get the LA/Long Action options, a couple examples for the AB3: https://www.budsgunshop.com/product_info.php/products_id/101061/leu+bc+crs+brw+ab3+la+1pc+mat https://www.budsgunshop.com/product_info.php/products_id/101422/weaver+mounts+multi-slot+browning+ab3+long+action+extended+black+anodized

Yes you can add a picatiny rail on a Browning A Bolt. I have one myself. I personally prefer the Back Country mounts by Leupold. Just order the mounts from your preferred brand and select a long action Browning A bolt mount (for 30-06)  Follow the torque recommendations and use a little blue loctite. The Xbolt mounts will not fit, as they have 8 holes rather than 4. Just be sure you order the correct specs. I put rails on everything these days. Much easier. Good luck.
