Browning Safari actions did not use the traditional M-98 bolt stop box, but had a simpler-to-make system of parts stuck into the side of the action. These parts were removed, the remaining holes welded closed, and a Mauser 98 bolt stop & ejector system installed. The Krieger barrel is chambered for the customer's wildcat .375 Thunderbolt cartridge (the .300 WSM necked up to .375).

Additionally, this FN-made, M98-pattern action features these custom enhancements:

• Ed LaPour 3-position, side-swing (M-70 style) safety
• Banded rear sight base with additional recoil lug
• Short rear tang extension with blind rear action screw socket
• Highly styled scope bases cut for Talley rings
• 2-panel checkered bolt knob
• Sunny Hill 'drop box' bottom metal
• Blackburn trigger
• NECG iron sights
