If you like a traditional wood blued gun for say a western or plains game hunt then this would be a good one. Browning BBR, 7mm Rem. Magnum topped with a quality scope to match the gun, Leupold Vari X III 3.5-10x40 AO, high gloss blue 24� barrel, beautifully figured walnut stock (might say a little burly), aluminum bedding, free floated, recessed crown, (seriously) smoothest bolt you will ever feel, 9 locking lugs with 60 degree lift similar to a Mark V Weatherby, removable clip, lightly used with some small dings in the wood finish, very good shooter and a beautiful gun.

Bought this new in the late 70s. Used it until sometime in the early 80s. I've shot it only a couple times since then, a solid and good looking gun.

Haven't done any load development with it as it always shot fine enough just picking any load out of the book. I will say less than 100 rounds through it. All of the dings are very shallow, mostly in the high gloss finish.

Group shot for this ad, nothing special about it, not a developed load, just some rounds I had. I know they are sierra 140s but don't know what the load is. This gun will beat 1 MOA with young eyes and a developed load.

Is the butt pad original? The stock hasn't been shortened has it? Is the aluminum bedding factory, also the free floated barrel, is that factory?

You bought this new from a dealer
....as is no modifications at all?
Or
Was this factory ordered and do you have the original paperwork and box to supply with this very nice rifle?

Just to add my two cents,these were some of the finest rifles Browning ever produced.The aluminum barrel channel,recoil pad and free float was standard issue on them.I currently own four ,all in different calibers and am always looking for more.Not sure what his scope is worth(not a Leupy fan),but a real bargain at that price.Get one in your hands and feel the velvet action and you'll know what I mean.

Would you be interested in trading for a nice M1 carbine by Inland w/sling and about 15 extra magazines? It is in the classified above your post (pics too).
