Our Assessment:. A showcase of elegant engineering and precision craftsmanship, this Browning A-Bolt Custom Trophy—manufactured by Miroku in 1997—is a fine example of how modern production can honor classic form. Chambered in .30-06 Springfield, this rifle is equally suited for the discerning hunter or collector, combining field-ready capability with presentation-grade appointments.
The standout feature of this rifle is its 22” octagonal barrel, a rarely seen and striking profile for a modern bolt gun. Gold-accented bands at both muzzle and breech frame the rich blued finish, while scroll engraving on the receiver and floorplate, along with a gold-inlaid Buckmark on the trigger guard, provide a level of embellishment often reserved for custom shop work. The stock is equally refined—dense, well-figured walnut with sharp checkering, a black ring grip cap, cheek piece, and a soft Pachmayr Old English pad, all in excellent condition with only the lightest signs of handling.
Mechanically, the rifle is built on Browning’s proven A-Bolt action with a crisp trigger, smooth bolt operation, and a hinged floorplate for easy unloading. The bore is flawless, rating a 10/10 for sharp rifling and brightness. With scope bases already installed, it’s ready for optics and capable of outstanding accuracy with modern .30-06 loads.
This rifle isn’t just a shooter—it’s a functional piece of artistry. With 99% finish retained, exceptional wood, and clean, smooth mechanics, this A-Bolt Custom Trophy represents the best of both worlds: a gun you can proudly display and one you can confidently take afield.
