BELGIUM BROWNING SAFARI GRADE BOLT ACTION .458

SERIAL NUMBER: 63574L72. BARREL: 24". CALIBER: .458 WIN MAGNUM. MANUFACTURED: 1972. The 1972 Browning High Power Safari Grade rifle chambered in .458 Winchester Magnum represents the pinnacle of twentieth-century dangerous-game firearms design, seamlessly blending robust engineering with artisan aesthetics. Built on a renowned commercial Fabrique Nationale (FN) Mauser bolt action in Herstal, Belgium, this rifle utilizes a classic controlled-round feeding system and a massive non-rotating claw extractor to guarantee absolute reliability when facing the world's most dangerous quarry. To withstand the immense kinetic forces of the heavy .458 cartridge, the polished 24-inch steel barrel is paired with a high-grade walnut stock that features a distinctive Monte Carlo comb, elegant hand-cut checkering, a dense factory rubber recoil pad, and structural dual cross-bolts embedded into the wood. Every component, from the finely engraved floorplate and gold-plated trigger to the adjustable open express sights, reflects the meticulous hand-fitted craftsmanship characteristic of Browning's coveted "Belgian era," making it both a highly capable dangerous-game tool and a prized collector's item. It sports a Leupold VARI-X III 2.5-8X36 scope with a duplex reticle. CONDITION: Very Good. 98%+.
