It features a 22-inch steel barrel with a recessed crown, a polished blued steel receiver with factory floral scroll engraving and a "SAFARI" cartouche, and a gloss-finished walnut stock with cut checkering.

The BAR Mark II Safari action is a gas-operated, rotating-bolt semi-automatic, chambered here in .30-06 with a 3+1 capacity. A detachable box magazine is retained by a hinged floorplate, and the right-side charging handle works with a bright-finished bolt. Controls include a cross-bolt safety and a gold-colored trigger.
The 22-inch steel barrel uses a recessed crown, and the rifle retains its factory open sights: a ramped front blade and a barrel-mounted adjustable rear sight. The installed two-piece receiver base and scroll-engraved 1-inch rings provide a ready mounting interface for a scope.
Its polished blued steel receiver carries factory floral scroll engraving with a "SAFARI" cartouche, pairing cleanly with the polished blued barrel. The gloss-finished walnut stock features cut checkering, a fluted comb, and a pistol grip, with a sling attachment point at the butt.
Markings and provenance are clear and well-defined. The barrel shank bears Belgian proof marks, and the receiver is marked "BROWNING BAR II" with the "SAFARI" cartouche. Rollmarks include "Made in Belgium – Assembled in Portugal" and "Browning Arms Company Morgan, Utah & Montreal P.Q." The serial pattern with NX year code denotes 1993 production within the Mark II Safari series.
