1979 Browning SA-22 Grade II Semi-Automatic Rifle – New Condition in Luggage Case | Deep Relief Engraving | Exceptional Collector Example

Price: $2,875.00

Offered here is an absolutely exquisite 1979 Browning SA-22 Grade II semi-automatic rifle, preserved in stunning new condition and accompanied by its luggage case. Elegant, refined, and richly detailed, this classic Belgian-designed rimfire represents one of the most beloved and recognizable sporting rifles ever produced by Browning. Examples of this quality and presentation are becoming increasingly difficult to locate, especially with such exceptional originality and preservation.

This rifle remains in truly remarkable condition throughout, appearing virtually untouched since leaving the factory. The bore is bright and shiny with strong, predominant rifling, while the action remains exceptionally smooth, crisp, and tight—exactly what one would expect from a properly preserved collector-grade Browning.

The beautifully finished receiver is highlighted by a single gold trigger, perfectly complementing the factory deep relief hand-engraved game scene work that elevates this rifle far above standard production examples. The engraving is rich, detailed, and elegantly executed, showcasing Browning’s commitment to fine sporting arms during this golden era of production.

The wood on this rifle is especially noteworthy, displaying unique and utterly charming figure and character seldom encountered on another firearm. Warm, expressive, and visually striking, the walnut gives this SA-22 a truly individual personality and exceptional eye appeal that immediately sets it apart.

Renowned for its smooth takedown design, impeccable balance, and legendary reliability, the Browning SA-22 remains one of the finest semi-automatic rimfire rifles ever produced. In this condition and configuration, it represents both an outstanding collector investment and a centerpiece-quality addition to any advanced Browning collection.

Opportunities to acquire a 1979 Browning SA-22 Grade II in true new condition with luggage case are few and far between. Do not let this exceptional rifle slip through your hands—an elegant and highly collectible Browning worthy of the finest collection.
