Jonathan Browning Mountain Rifle .50 Black Powder 30” Percussion Rifle 1978

“A passport to the past,” was how the Browning marketing described this rifle in its late 1970s advertising. The Jonathan Browning Mountain Rifle is an authentic black powder percussion rifle produced by Browning between 1977-81 for the modern mountain man. Chambered in .50 caliber, it features a 30-inch octagonal barrel. The rifle is outfitted with a traditional percussion cap ignition system, a single-set trigger, and buckhorn rear sights. It has a historically accurate appearance and performance. Its robust .50 caliber delivers ample stopping power for big game and is prized among muzzleloading hunters and historical shooting enthusiasts alike.

Included with this rifle is a period-correct powderhorn inscribed “Johnathan Browning / MOUNTAIN RIFLE / 1878-1978 / 0437 OF 1000.” Also included is a bit of hardware: a nipple wrench, pick, etc. It all comes in a Browning-inscribed wooden case with a felt-lined interior.

Its authenticity, exceptional build quality, and historical styling make this rifle a sought-after firearm for traditional black powder shooters, traditional hunters, and collectors of Browning’s specialty arms.
