Notable features and field utility

The BROWNING BAR MARK II SAFARI sits in the Semi Auto category with Browning pedigree and a reputation for smooth cycling and robust construction. The mounted Bushnell scopechief vi 1.5x – 4.5x provides a versatile magnification range suitable for close to mid-range defensive scenarios or multi-purpose field work. That short magnification spread gives quick target acquisition at low power and usable reach at the upper end.

What to inspect on a used BAR Mark II Safari

Photos indicate small rust spots; these should be inspected in person. Surface rust can often be cleaned and stabilized, but verify bore condition, receiver finish, and the function of the semi-auto action. Confirm the Bushnell mount is secure and that the 1.5x–4.5x reticle tracks correctly. Price is listed at $1,200.99, reflecting the mounted optics and condition — use that figure to judge service/repair costs against value.
