MODELS WITH SPECIAL FINISHES
As with any gun, the only way to preserve its pristine condition and
collector appeal is to never handle or fire it, which in turn would
deprive you of much of the enjoyment that comes with owning a fine
Browning firearm.
While special finishes such as engraving and gold plating greatly
enhance the aesthetic appeal of your rifle, please be aware that
they are no more durable, and in some cases may even be slightly
less durable than more common gun finishes.
As you use your Browning rifle, you can expect special finishes to wear
in much the same manner as any other firearm finish. These marks
are the honest product of the hours spent enjoying your firearm and
each scuff and scratch will probably have a good story to go along
with it.
