I took it to the range with a variaty of loads today. And I have a great load already.
None of the 5 loads I tried was bad, and I am afraid by the time I was done shooting 50 rounds I was not doing the rifle justice.
I am not recoil sensitive normaly , but I have been shooting Roberts, Roberts & more Roberts latly.
The Browning has simply a great trigger. My smith told me they were sued by Winchester over it.
I had a hard time contoling it , especially since I was fire forming with another rifle and switching between the 2 triggers was not easy.
But with a 165 grain Hornady flat base over 60.5 grains of RL-19 a 1.2 a clover of .30 and 2 rounds into a half inch. i saved the last round to adjut the seating die with.
Load should be over 2900 with my 22 inch tube.
I want another safari now. in say 7 mag ?

Browning and Winchester are owned by the same company. I would like to hear your 'smith's story.

They weren't owned by the same company when Browning came out with the Safari. Lou

Kind of ironic, The browning safari was built By FN for browning. An at a later date Browning switched prodution from belgium to japan and before you know it ,
FN buys browning outright.
FN know how to make Guns all kinds of guns. And seemingly make a profit doing it !
