The Grade V rifles were only manufactured from 1971 to 1974, with this rifle being manufactured in 1971. This example features a tapered barrel manufactured with beaded blade front and adjustable folding leaf rear sights. The left side near the breech is marked with the one line address over "MADE IN BELGIUM", and the caliber designation and "BROWNING PATENTS" are on the right side. Each side of the receiver is engraved with scenes with three gold inlaid animals (antelope on the left, deer on the right) with a gold inlaid wire border. The receiver is topped with a Leupold Vari-X 2x7 scope. Surrounding the scenes is a floral vine design with a punch dot background. The same floral vine design is on the bottom of the magazine and trigger guard. The lower left side of the receiver is signed "M. Magis". The top of the receiver has a matte finish and is factory drilled and tapped for scope mounting. The high gloss walnut forearm and stock wrist are finely checkered with relief carved floral vine designs.

Excellent, retaining 99% plus original blue finish with limited handling marks and crisp engraving. Wood is very good with a few dings and scratches, most of the original varnish, and three small stress cracks on the right of the wrist at the receiver. Mechanically excellent. Scope is excellent with clear optics and a crisp reticle.
