vigillinusI think the same rifle is being offered on Gunbroker, search "9.3x74R". Engraving and gold inlays pretty awful.

Andre MertensThere are presently 2 kinds of Browning o/u rifles :
CCS 25 : the genuine one, handmade in Belgium on a specially reinforced and heat treated receiver. Listed today at 7803-12879 € (9360-15476 USD), according to grade. Of course, you may also go full custom, but then.....€€€€€€€ !
CS 525 : industrially made in Japan on a B 525 20 ga shotgun receiver. Price : 3292-3691 € (3950-4428 USD). Barrels are adjustable via insert rings.
A side by side comparison tells it all, of course. This is my CCS 25, in 9,3x74R, engraving signed by J. Baerten, FN's former master engraver).

AglifterI was looking through there catalog -- please tell me I misread the bit about $3500 for scope rings...Otherwise, what would be your opinion about a browning rifle vs. a searcy classic?
