Browning (FN) BAR Safari

Browning (FN) BAR Safari in 338 Win Mag

The Browning BAR Safari is available in .300 Win Mag and .338 Win Mag. Many consider it to be the only semi-auto suitable for big/dangerous game hunting. It's design dates back to WWII when it was produced in the standard 30/06 caliber for military use. Safari standard calibers include the .22-250 Remington, .243 Winchester, .25-06 Remington, .270 Winchester, .308 Winchester, and .30-06 Springfield. Magnum calibers include the .270 WSM, 7mm WSM, 7mm Remington Magnum, .300 WSM, .300 Winchester Magnum, and .338 Winchester Magnum. The Safari model has an engraved, forged steel receiver and a high gloss genuine walnut stock and forearm. It is a truly beautiful weapon and considered top of the line for a semi auto rifle.
