The Grade VI treatment brings extensive factory embellishment: full-coverage scroll engraving with gold-inlaid game scenes featuring a hunting dog with rabbit on one side and a fox with squirrel on the other. A gold retriever head cameo accents the receiver top, and a Browning Buckmark in gold highlights the triggerguard bow. The receiver’s satin silver/gray finish complements the high-gloss walnut for a distinctive presentation.
Built by Miroku in Japan, this SA-22 retains the model’s hallmark features: a semi-automatic blowback action with bottom ejection and an internal tubular magazine housed in the buttstock. The takedown mechanism, with a knurled adjusting ring, allows quick separation of barrel and receiver for transport or storage.
The 19.25-inch steel barrel is finished with a recessed crown. Sight picture is provided by iron sights: a ramped blade with bead up front and a folding leaf rear. A gold-plated trigger adds a classic aesthetic touch in line with the Grade VI trim.
Furniture consists of high-gloss walnut for both stock and forearm, with checkering for grip and a grooved buttplate. Length of pull is 14.0 inches. Markings include: "BROWNING ARMS COMPANY MORGAN, UTAH MADE IN JAPAN/MIROKU," "CALIBER .22 LONG RIFLE," and "BROWNING PATENTS." The serial number is located at the right rear of the receiver.
Capacity is listed at 10+1, with loading accomplished through the follower rod accessed via the buttplate. The satin silver/gray steel receiver matches the overall finish theme for a cohesive, high-grade appearance.
