Sweet high grade, are you going to shoot it or just leave it as a safe queen?

Why does Browning have to make 'em so pretty? :D The high grades sure are nice, and .........................they shoot too :D

Go ahead and have a blast.

Here's a pic of my son that I took a few years ago with his Browning standard job. 375 gr cast with a healthy dose of RL-7 dropped her right there.-----------6

That is just freakin beautiful! Yes, you definitely have to use it. That is where the true enjoyment in owning it lies.
