The Browning Medalist, a .22 LR target pistol, stands as a testament to John Browning's enduring legacy and FN's manufacturing prowess. More than just a firearm, it represents a golden era of precision engineering and aesthetic appeal. Its allure extends beyond mere functionality; its a piece of art, a slice of history, and a symbol of discerning taste. The Browning Medalist, specifically, elevates the rimfire pistol to an entirely new echelon. Many argue it's the most attractive .22 LR target pistol ever conceived.
