The rifle features a 24 inch round steel barrel, high-polish blued finish, and top ejection. Its non-detachable box magazine provides a 4-round capacity and permits the use of spitzer bullets, a hallmark trait of the 1895 pattern.
Sighting is via open sights: a ramped blade front and an open rear with a stepped elevator and a flip-up aperture for flexible elevation. The external hammer and smooth, reliable lever action round out the classic operating controls.
Furniture consists of a straight-grip walnut buttstock and a smooth walnut forearm, both uncheckered for a clean, traditional profile. Length of pull measures 13.25 inches, offering a comfortable, straightforward fit.
The bore is excellent with a mirror finish and sharp rifling, underscoring the careful prior handling noted in the overall condition. As a limited-edition, Miroku-made Browning with desirable .30-06 chambering, it stands out as a collectible, ready for display or range use.
