Item Description
Bryant Ridge Co. is pleased to present this absolutely stunning and RARE, large caliber, bolt-action rifle for a penny-start auction; this is the FN Browning High-Power Medallion Grade!
According to the Blue Book of Gun Values, production in .284 Winchester was extremely limited across Browning’s premium grades—just 162 rifles in Safari Grade, 29 in Medallion Grade, and only 10 in Olympian Grade—making examples in this chambering and finish exceptionally scarce and highly collectible.

Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Browning/FN High-Power Medallion Grade Rifle is best understood as a deluxe sporting rifle that elevates a fundamentally practical hunting platform into a collector-quality, show-and-shoot piece through choice materials and high-quality finishing work. At a glance, the rifle announces its intent with select figured walnut—carefully matched and finished to highlight grain—paired with skipline checkering that both dresses the forend and grip and provides secure purchase without heavy abrasion to the hands. The addition of rosewood grip and forearm caps is a classic high-end touch: visually warming the woodwork, resisting wear where the hands most contact the rifle, and giving a tight, lustrous contrast to the walnut. The metalwork’s blue/black lustre bluing is executed to a deep, near-jewel finish that resists corrosion while offering an elegant backdrop for the scroll engraving that decorates both receiver and barrel portion; small figural details such as a ram’s-head engraved on the floorplate are the sort of bespoke cues that mark a Medallion Grade as more than mere trim — they are signature artistry intended to reward close inspection and to tell a story about the rifle’s intended role as a lifetime hunting companion and display piece.
