The History of Browning

Browning Arms Company was founded in 1880 by the American John Moses Browning, one of the most, if not the most prolific and influential firearm inventor of all time, with the help of his brothers, in Ogden, Utah. A large portion of John Browning's rifle designs have been acquired and produced by other big-name companies, like Winchester, Colt, Remington, Fabrique Nationale of Belgium, and Miroku. Among his most famous guns produced were the 1895 Colt Peacemaker machine gun, the Browning automatic rifle, the .45-caliber pistol, a variety of .30- and .50-caliber machine guns used in World War II; and the Browning Automatic-5 shotgun first introduced in 1902 and still produced to this day. Beside firearms, Browning is also a manufacturer of various other products, such as gun knives, shooting accessories, bicycles, and clothing. In 1977 the Belgian firearms manufacturer Fabrique Nationale (FN) purchased the Browning Company. In 1987 the US Repeating Arms Company (Winchester) was purchased from its former owners. The Winchester brand (licensed from Olin Corporation) was acquired at the same time by FN. In 1990, Société Générale sold the FN company to GIAT Industries.

In 1997, the entire FN family of companies (including Browning and the Winchester) was bought from GIAT by the government of a Belgian region named Waloon and was renamed to Groupe Herstal.

Browning Eurobolt LA Rifle Review

Browning Eurobolt LA is the long action version of Eurobolt series and is essentially a Browning A-bolt rifle made for the European market. It was introduced in 2000. It is a centerfire bolt-action repeating rifle and consists of a bolt with a small extractor, plunger-style ejector and three locking lugs that lock into the front of the receiver. Its barrel is free-floating, and the recoil lug is glass-bedded. The two-position safety catch is located on the neck of the stock, just behind the bolt, and readies the rifle to fire when pushed forward. Additionally, the rifle comes with a red dot indicator that shows when the rifle is ready to fire.

The removable magazine is attached to the hinged floorplate and can hold up to four standard and three magnum cartridges. The approximate trigger pull of 1800 g (3.96 lbs) is pre-set at the factory and can be adjusted by a gunsmith. Browning Eurobolt comes with direction adjustment rear sight and a foresight that is vertically adjustable. On the top of the receiver there are four holes for mounting purposes. Browning Eurobolt is available in two action lengths:
