B R OWNING «THE BEST THERE IS»<strong>Browning</strong> has been developing hunting guns that are as hardwearing as theyas elegant for 125 years. Our great experience has allowed us to create aperfect union of ancestral armoury traditions and up-to-the minute technologies.Made by hunters for hunters, <strong>Browning</strong> guns are more than ever aguarantee of quality and reliability. Because we are willing to listen to yourrequirements, your desires and the evolution of hunting we draw on traditionto constantly create new products that are worthy of the brand’s prestigiousheritage.6 - 7B Y B R O W N I N G1. Quality / reliabilityThe legendary quality of <strong>Browning</strong> gunsresults from the care that is taken with everymanufacturing stage for example:- Today, a fleet of ultramodern, numericallycontrolled machines assures mechanisation.- A 3-dimensional reading machine guaranteesinfallible production checking andunrivalled respect for tolerances to provideincreased manufacturing rigour.- Thanks to PVD technology, metal surfacesare given micro-coverings in a titaniumnitrate, chrome nitrate or tungsten carbide airvacuum. The advantage of this technique isthat it increases the hardness and long-life ofthe parts and their resistance to corrosionMore modern materials, from the aeronauticand automobile industries state-of-the-artsectors, accompany noble, traditional materials.On our guns, walnut and steel are henceforthassociated with aluminium, compositematerials and carbon fibre for improvedperformance and reliability that are in keepingwith the brand’s reputation.
2. Innovation / modernityBecause a gun should be both attractive anduseful we turn to the most advanced creationtechniques to constantly push back thefrontiers of design but without forgetting thatefficiency prevails in the field.Some of the numerous recent inventions areshown below:- The new compact magnum calibres(Winchester Short Magnum, Winchester SuperShort Magnum), which are more powerful butgenerate less recoil than classic magnums, havebeen developed in association with Winchester,the other great <strong>Browning</strong> <strong>International</strong> groupbrand. The miniature magnums satisfy hunterswho desire lighter, more manageable gunsperfectly.The success of this new ammunition has resultedin it being adopted by the entire armouryindustry, which has adapted its guns to our cartridges.<strong>Browning</strong> has chosen to develop newexclusive, specific, patented gun systems tofurther satisfy these new calibres’ specific constraintsand thus to optimise their performancewith total operational safety.- The B.O.S.S. systemThis device integrates a mouth brake to reducea rifle’s recoil whilst improving its accuracy byharmonising the barrel’s vibrations with specificammunition. (p. 45)- BACK BORE technologyThis exclusive back-boring process, whichmany have attempted to imitate, improves thesmooth barrels’ ballistic performance.(p. 30))- CYNERGYThis smooth, competition rifle has revolutionisedthe target-shooting world, it is the formula1 of rifles. (p. 64)SHORT & LONG TRACKThe semi-automatic B.A.R. rifle, which celebrates40 years of experience, has been joinedby a completely new rifle, developed anddesigned specially for the new WSM (SHORTTRAC) calibres. Fans of conventional calibrescan use this new arrival with the LONG TRACmodel. (p.46)- FUSION EVOLVEWhen you are the inventor of the semi-automaticrifle, you have a duty to employ state-ofthe-arttechnology, the FUSION EVOLVE, witha gas-operated mechanism, is perfectly robustand reliable. It incorporates BACK BORE technology.(p. 34)www.browning-int.comBe the first to discoverall our latest additionsas well as manyother advantagesOrder a catalogue for a friend, receiveinformation or offers as a privilegedcustomerAn advice centre3. Performance / efficiencySince the beginning of the last century, the<strong>Browning</strong> brand has become legendary asthe source of the greatest innovations in thearmoury industry.These innovations saw the light of day thanksto research and development teams based inEurope and the United States (<strong>Browning</strong> andFN) and using the most modern technologiessuch as Computer Aided Design (C.A.D.), highfrequency cameras at 25.000 images/second… ; all of this associated with a intransigentfinal quality check which guaranteesmaximum reliability as far as performance isconcerned.Furthermore each product development is thesubject of a series of « studies per finishedelement » that aims to check that the gun hasbeen correctly dimensioned as well as thegun’s operation and mobile parts.Know your gun inside out, know howto clean and maintain it …Information concerning new products6
