Express

Strength and accuracy

Derived from the B25 shotgun, the Browning Express rifle enjoys the same reputation and arouses the same passions among hunters. It is intended for the big game enthusiast. Hand-made in our factory at Herstal, these rifles receive the care and attention of craftsmen who have worked exclusively on luxury firearms for many years. Designed to receive very powerful cartridges, the Browning CCS Express rifle is uncommonly strong, while remaining light and well balanced. They thus offer fast handling and excellent pointability. In order to withstand the high pressures produced by spent cartridges, the action frame of the CCS has a reinforced base and sides. The barrels are cold hammered in high strength steel and then brazed into a sturdy monoblock.
