Browning Euro-Bolt?
«

I was perusing gunbroker.com last night and came across a couple of entries for a Browning Euro Bolt; one in 270 WSM and one in 300 WSM. I've never heard of this rifle and can't seem to find any information on Browning's website or through Google. I love that Bavarian/Austrian stock design, but I don't see it very often on production rifles (pretty much only seen it on a couple of CZ's, Sakos, and Blasers). I was just wondering if anyone here could tell me more about it. Anyone know anything?

Looks like a standard A bolt with a traditional hog back european style stock.
Browning/ USA may have made some guns for the european market. Like a lot of american cars that have right hand drives to be sold in the British or Japanese markets.

If anyone cares, I found this website, which is accessed through the FN Herstal website.

It still doesn't really provide much (any) information about how someone in the U.S. might go about acquiring the Euro Bolt model specifically. All the dealer options listed are outside North America (except Mexico). Still, I figured I'd post it for no other reason than someone else might come along looking for info.

I think it might have a different shaped bolt handle too.
