This Used / T&E Browning BAR Mk II Safari is a distinctive 1999-production semi-automatic hunting rifle chambered in 30-06 Springfield. It combines the classic walnut-and-blued-steel character of the BAR Safari line with a rare plain, non-engraved receiver that sets it apart from the more commonly seen engraved Safari models.
Actual firearm shown: The photos on this listing are of the actual rifle for sale, not a stock manufacturer image.
At Huckleberry Arms, T&E means the firearm may have been test fired, handled, inspected, evaluated, or previously owned, but it has been reviewed before being offered for sale. This rifle is not being represented as factory-new, but its overall condition is excellent with light handling only.
This BAR Mk II Safari is especially interesting because it is believed to have originated as a Friends of NRA raffle / Tested & Evaluated rifle. Unlike most late-1990s BAR Safari rifles, this example wears a clean high-polish blued receiver without scroll engraving. That gives the rifle a restrained, almost custom-order appearance while retaining the traditional Browning Safari look.
Mechanically, the rifle remains a practical Browning BAR hunting rifle. It uses a gas-operated semi-automatic action, detachable box magazine, 22-inch polished blued barrel, gloss walnut stock with factory checkering, and Williams open sights. Chambered in 30-06 Springfield, it is suitable for whitetail, hogs, elk, black bear, and general North American big-game hunting.
For the Browning collector, this rifle offers unusual plain-receiver appeal. For the hunter, it remains a field-ready BAR in one of America’s most proven hunting cartridges. It is a clean, functional, and uncommon example of a 1999 Browning BAR Mk II Safari.
