When I was a kid I used to read a Browning catalog and had it memorized. I could tell you about finely checkered French Walnut etc.
There was a gunshop that had a Belgian FN actioned Browning Safari Grade 30-06 hanging on the wall.
It was beautiful but cost $232.50 which was as much as a used car.
Many years later I found one at a gun show all rusty. I had it reblued at Ahlmans in Morristown and the metal looks like new. I left the stock alone.
I still think it is almost to nice to hunt with.

I like to do my hunting BEFORE I pull the trigger!
There is only one kind of dead, but there are many different kinds of wounded.
