Belgian FN manufacture places this Safari Grade within Browning’s High-Power bolt-action line, valued for its controlled-feed, Mauser-style action and strong sporting pedigree. The rifle retains its steel bottom metal with a hinged floorplate and an internal release inside the trigger guard bow, complemented by the factory-engraved Browning script on the floorplate.
The 24 inch blued barrel and polished bolt body with round bolt knob present a classic sporting configuration in 7mm Rem. Mag., with a stated capacity of 3+1 in the internal box magazine. The iron sights are intact, featuring a hooded ramp front and a folding-leaf, barrel-mounted rear sight.
The walnut Monte Carlo stock is configured for right-handed use with a cheekpiece, cut checkering, and a contrasting black fore-end tip with a white line spacer. An aftermarket Pachmayr ventilated recoil pad is installed, bringing the length of pull to 14 inches. Fixed sling swivels/loops are installed front and rear.
Optics are ready to use with an installed Redfield 2-7x variable scope in 1-inch rings, set up with a standard crosshair reticle. Production year is 1971, situating this rifle within Browning’s noted salt-wood timeframe.
