HUNTER
The Browning Silver Rifled Deer Hunter is a beautiful firearm that is sure to turn heads wherever it goes. Chambered in .30-06 Spr., the Browning Silver Deer Hunter has a variety of features that set it apart from the competition and make it well worth considering for your next hunting rifle.
The first thing you’ll notice about the Browning Silver Deer Hunter is its sleek, classic design. It features a polished metal frame that is available in blued or nickel-plated finishes, and a walnut stock that is both durable and elegant. The stock is fitted with a checkered pistol grip and a walnut fore-end. Browning has also incorporated its trademarked Inflex Technology recoil pad into the design, ensuring maximum comfort and control even during high-recoil shots.
The 24” free-floating barrel is made from cold hammer-forged steel and is chrome lined for maximum protection from wear and corrosion. Browning has also incorporated its trademarked Barrel Fluting Technology, which helps reduce weight without compromising accuracy. Additionally, the optical sights are adjustable for both windage and elevation, and the trigger pull can be adjusted from 3 1/2 to 5 1/2 pounds.
In terms of accuracy, the Browning Silver Deer Hunter is a force to be reckoned with. When test-fired with my own ammunition, it produced three-shot groups of 1.35” at 100 yards. This is excellent accuracy for a hunting rifle- and while the rifle is capable of producing even more accurate results with heavier, premium grade match ammunition, it did not seem to be necessary to enjoy excellent accuracy when hunting with this rifle.
The Browning Silver Deer Hunter also features a 3-position safety selector, allowing for safe operation with relative ease. The safety selector is located on the right side of the receiver, and can be quickly engaged from the shooter’s firing position. Browning has also incorporated a built-in magazine cut-off, allowing for quick unloading or topping off the magazine without having to cycle the bolt. The 5-round staggered box magazine is also detachable, making ammo reloading a breeze.
In terms of overall build quality, the Browning Silver Deer Hunter is tough to beat. Every part of the rifle feels incredibly rugged and durable, and the metal and wood components all fit together with precision and attention to detail. It is an aesthetically pleasing firearm that will no doubt last many years with proper maintenance.
The Browning Silver Rifled Deer Hunter is an excellent rifle for those who are serious about hunting. It is well made, accurate, and comes with a variety of features that make it an excellent hunting companion. From its sleek design to its excellent build quality, it is an all-around excellent firearm that is sure to please any hunter.
