Our Assessment: This is a very nice looking Browning A-Bolt bolt action rifle built by Miroku in Japan, chambered in 7mm-08 Remington. Originally a wildcat cartridge, it is based on the .308 Winchester case necked down for .284 (7mm) projectiles. Given the wide range of projectile weights and types available, it is a versatile hunting or target cartridge, especially if you hand load.
The rifle features a beautiful walnut stock, a high luster blue barrel and scroll engraving on the shoulders of the receiver and the magazine floorplate. The stock has a high gloss finish with rosewood tipped forend and a rosewood grip cap. The rifle is in Fine condition with about 97% of its original finish remaining and some minor wear in the stock. This rifle looks to have spent more time in storage than out with little evidence of use. Please see our photos and good luck!
