Browning BAR Safari Tribute MG .270 Winchester 22" 4+1 Grade III Walnut Semi-Auto Rifle - New

The BROWNING BAR SAFARI TRIBUTE MID GRADE in .270 Winchester represents a stunning commemorative edition of one of the most iconic semi-automatic hunting rifles ever designed. Originally conceived by Bruce Browning (grandson of legendary firearms designer John Moses Browning) in collaboration with FN engineer Marcel Olinger, the BAR (Browning Automatic Rifle) was introduced to the sporting market in 1967 to compete directly with Remington's semi-automatic offerings. The Safari Tribute Mid Grade honors this legacy with Grade III Turkish walnut, retro laser engraving featuring a mule deer scene specific to the .270 Win caliber, and polished blued steel that evokes the classic elegance of the original Safari models. Manufactured with expertise from the renowned FN factory in Belgium, this rifle combines old-world craftsmanship with modern engineering excellence.

The technical sophistication of the BAR sets it apart from all other semi-automatic hunting rifles. At its heart is a seven-lug rotating bolt that locks directly into the hammer-forged, chrome-plated chamber barrel, creating concentric rings of steel around each chambered cartridge - the recessed bolt face, barrel, and receiver working in unison to handle even powerful magnum cartridges safely. The gas piston operating system, developed specifically to manage varying gas pressures across different cartridge types, drives an operating rod that acts on an inertial block to cycle the action smoothly and reliably. The 22-inch barrel is individually machined from hammer-forged billets of steel and air-gauged for quality assurance, with hand-inspected rifling that delivers 1 MOA accuracy or better - precision typically reserved for bolt-action rifles. The gold-plated alloy trigger provides a crisp, single-stage pull, and the detachable 4-round box magazine with hinged floorplate allows for quick reloads or safe unloading. The receiver is drilled and tapped for scope mounting, with an integral buffering system that reduces felt recoil significantly.

The .270 Winchester cartridge, introduced in 1925, has earned a cult-like following among American hunters for nearly a century, and paired with the BAR's semi-automatic platform, it becomes perhaps the ultimate hunting combination for North American game. Pushing a 130-grain bullet at nearly 3,100 feet per second, the .270 Win offers flat trajectory, hard-hitting energy, and minimal recoil - perfect characteristics for the lightweight 7 lbs 14 oz BAR platform. The combination of semi-automatic speed for rapid follow-up shots with bolt-action accuracy makes this rifle exceptionally versatile, from open plains antelope hunting to timber whitetails. The BAR has consistently demonstrated its reliability across decades of hard use in hunting camps worldwide, with its unique gas system proving capable of functioning flawlessly in extreme temperatures and harsh conditions. The polished blued steel receiver features scroll engraving and laser-etched wildlife scenes that elevate this from mere tool to heirloom.

This new condition Browning BAR Safari Tribute Mid Grade represents exceptional value at this price point. The Grade III Turkish walnut stock showcases rich grain patterns and a fluted design incorporating a full pistol grip with undercut, contoured perfectly for use with optics. At 43 inches overall length with a 13.75-inch length of pull, the rifle balances beautifully and shoulders naturally. The crossbolt safety with enlarged head is easily manipulated, and the enlarged trigger guard accommodates gloved hands for cold-weather hunting. Every BAR ships with Browning's trigger lock for safe storage. This Safari Tribute edition honors the original Safari models that used one-piece ordnance steel receivers, bringing that classic aesthetic to modern shooters. Whether you're a collector seeking a commemorative Browning, a hunter wanting the perfect all-around rifle for North American game, or a shooting enthusiast who appreciates the engineering brilliance of the BAR platform, this .270 Winchester Safari Tribute delivers performance, beauty, and heritage in equal measure.
