At the very least, the ’98 is the rifle against which all others are compared. Originally patented by Paul Mauser in 1895 and adopted by the German armed forces on April 5, 1898, it has proven reliable in battle. Its nearly unbreakable design has helped it become hugely popular among sportsmen, big-game hunters, guides, and professional hunters. It has been manufactured in countless countries, resulting in variances in quality, materials, etc.; however, quality versions command premiums and remain in high demand, such as Browning’s FN High-Power rifle. The FN action was not just a commercialized military version, as it featured a checkered bolt handle knob with the handle being swept back for more natural operation and improved appearance. The trigger was changed to a single pull design without slack, and a sporter-style, hand-engraved, steel, hinged floorplate was installed and secured via a reliable quick-release latch housed in the front of the trigger guard. In addition to modern high-tensile steels being used, the thumb slot – common on military actions and some pre-World War II commercial actions – that was necessary to reach and depress the follower to close the action was eliminated. This increased the receiver’s rigidity, improved the rifle’s appearance, and further distinguished it from surplus actions. The modern button-style sliding safety, located to the right of the bolt sleeve, was out of the way for installing a scope and was a three-position design. The middle position allowed removal of a cartridge from the chamber while preventing the rifle from firing – a similar concept as found on the Winchester Model 70. The barrels were made of chrome vanadium steel. Care was taken to ensure that internal dimensions were cut to minimum tolerances. Each was tested to meet rigid accuracy standards and serialized to match the receiver. The blue finish was especially handsome, as it was nonglaring and similar in appearance to the comparatively light-colored, pre-World War II rust blue finishes that had proven so durable. Browning Arms’ long-lasting relationship with FN began around 1897, when John Browning contracted the firm in Belgium to manufacture his Model 1899 pistol, as well as many subsequent rifles, shotguns, and pistols. By 1960, Browning Arms recognized the obvious void in its product line and began importing the High-Power rifle to compete with other U.S. companies. FN discontinued the importation of its rifles shortly afterward. The new Browning rifle was built on the same Mauser ’98 action as the previously described FN rifles, though there were a few notable changes. For example, the bolt stop was smaller and had an external spring, but it was still robust. The classic-style stock was replaced with a Monte Carlo design and fitted with a ventilated rubber recoil pad (on most models) with a white line spacer, which was popular in the U.S. A barrel-mounted rear sight and bead front became standard, but optional sights were available, and rifles could be ordered without sights. This is a used item.
