For Sale ‘63 Browning Safari 375HH

[SkullKeeper]

Outstanding condition for a 60 year old rifle, made in 1963 so no salt possibility, exceptional trigger, this is how it was when I bought it (no original rear sight, just the peep) except for the stock spacers - and I had them shaped so I could keep the original recoil pad. I mounted a scope and zeroed - it shoots sub MOA with my hand loads (I never tried any factory ammo) and I can provide load data. Selling because I already have another 375 and am moving so trying to be practical, downsizing where I can/need to. I have this much in the rifle so just want what I paid - $1700 plus the shipping cost.

That is an extraordinary deal! I have one like it built in 64 and if I didn't I would be all over that. Good luck with your sale, can't imagine it will last long!

Very nice rifle, and seems like a fantastic deal! I'm just curious, was the spacer added because you needed more Length-of-Pull or because the stock had been cut down? Also, do you have pics of the underside of the rifle; showing the floorplate, trigger guard, and foregrip?

Excellent rifle and price. An individual would be hard pressed to find a better production 375 to take to Africa.

What is the LOP on this guy? Im interested.

Very nice. I have never noticed that extra step in the barrel on these before. Very cool. Shades of Mauser Model A.

I've got three of them (243, 30-06, and 308 Norma) and all the barrels have that step. They are very nicely made rifles.

I needed longer length of pull. The underside :

My apologies - I’ll get that for you tonight, I was hurriedly posting this before work and failed to measure it.

I agree - that’s why I bought it ! But honestly I couldn’t bring myself to take it over there since it was so clean, knowing it could get a bit of “character”. Sometimes rifles are too nice to take hunting lol

The stock may or may not have been cut - I’m not sure of the original length (and not sure if recoil pad was standard on the magnum safari rifle but I’d expect so. I have an ‘65 Safari in 30-06 and the stock wood length is 12.75” (13.5” total) then the butt pad is added.

8 pounds 4 ounces like it is in the photos. 24” barrel length, holds 3 down and 1 in the chamber.
