1970 Browning Belgium Medallion .300 Win Mag - Hand Engraved, Period Scope & Brake, Bedded, Rare!
Description:
For sale: Exceptional and rare 1970 Browning High Power Medallion Grade bolt-action rifle in .300 Winchester Magnum. These original Belgian-made Medallions (true hand-engraved FN High Power series, one grade below the ultra-rare Olympian) rarely come up for sale anymore—especially in this desirable magnum caliber with period-correct setup, with light use. Don't confuse this with the later A-Bolt Medallion models; this is the real deal from the golden era of Browning craftsmanship at Fabrique Nationale.
This rifle was clearly set up back in the day for a true hunter who cared deeply about what he shot with—practical, reliable, and built for serious performance rather than just show.
The beautiful period-correct muzzle brake tames the .300 WM's kick for follow-up shots, the glass bedding (professionally done) ensures rock-solid accuracy, and the vintage scope and mount keeps it authentic to the 1970s hunting era.
You can easily picture this rifle heading to Africa back then for plains game or dangerous game backup—smooth FN Mauser action, controlled-feed reliability, and enough power for anything from eland to buffalo.
