It appears to be a Browning Safari Grade rifle built on an FN action from the late 50s or early 60s. They are a few of them around but you dont see them very often I would say the price will be pretty high at the end of the auction. Especially since its in the original box. | |||

This is not a CFR it is a push feed. Some of these were very light and felt recoil can be substantial. Not my cup of tea and I love these old FN Brownings. | ||

I wonder if the seller may have got his dates wrong? According to the Eastman book on Browning the short extractor was only offered on magnums after 1967. The rear site also appears to be post-1963. None the less NIB I'll bet it goes over $1200. | |||

That is a Browning Safari Grade made for the European market.Note different caliber markings (US market ones are marked near the middle of the forearm,on the barrel),the lack of engraving on the recoil lug caps,and most specificly,the FN crest on the reciver ring. How the heck it ended up in the USA,I'll never know.Too bad it isn't one of the many 7x57s or 404s they made for the European market which almost never show up in the US and are worth mucho $$$.The 458 isn't a rarity though so it's worth $1,000-$1300. That's a post-1967 gun with a push feed Mauser action.Too clean to be a salt wood gun,but of course one never knows until they remove the stock. I have a US market one just like it made in 1972.With 500 grain Hornadys under a maximum load of IMR-4064,it kicks.I've owned four of these,and this is my heaviest one,weighting right on about 9 pounds with Leupold 4x.The lightest weighted 6 3/4 pounds and was the equivelent of a car wreck when it came to recoil.
