COLLECTIBLE FIREARMS

Atlas Collectible Firearms is profoundly honored to present a magnificent, investment-grade big-bore dangerous game rifle: an original 1968 Browning High Power Rifle Medallion Grade chambered in the formidable .458 Winchester Magnum. Built on FN Mauser's premier long bolt action in Belgium, this exquisite Medallion Grade sporting rifle features a 24-inch heavy sporter barrel with factory iron sights, a gold-plated trigger, cross-bolt stock reinforcement screws, and hand-engraved scrollwork adorning the receiver ring, bridge, bolt handle, floorplate, and trigger guard. Stamped with serial number 8X42125 on the barrel wall—confirming 1968 Belgian production—this dangerous game safari rifle represents one of the most prestigious bolt-action configurations Browning ever offered, stocked in select, highly figured French walnut with skip-line checkering and pistol grip cap with white spacers, cheekpiece, and an original Browning ventilated rubber recoil pad.
This comprehensive, heirloom-tier collector's package arrives fully appointed with high-end optics, original factory presentation storage, vintage ammunition, and historical documentation. Mounted atop the receiver in period-correct scope rings is a vintage Leupold M8-3x optic. The set includes a fitted tan leatherette luggage case with brass latching hardware, the original outer Browning cardboard box, three vintage boxes totaling 60 rounds of .458 Winchester Magnum ammunition (Winchester Super-Speed and Remington Kleanbore), the original Browning High-Power Bolt Action Rifle owner's manual, dealer hangtag, original dealer sales invoice dated 1968, and historical correspondence letters.
The overall cosmetic condition of this Browning Medallion Grade rifle remains in pristine, near-mint collector shape throughout, displaying deep, mirror-like Belgian factory bluing and brilliant gold inlay detailing with only very light, minimal handling traces on the wood finish. The highly figured French walnut stock retains rich, contrasting grain, sharp skip-line checkering points, and a high-gloss finish with no cracks or chips. Mechanically, the Mauser action functions with smooth, vault-tight precision, feeding and cycling effortlessly with a clean, light trigger release, while the 24-inch barrel preserves a mirror-bright, pristine bore with sharp, razor-clean rifling lines.
