.243 was made in a variety of Browning Rifle models. There are too many to list. Perhaps you could provide a model and we could tell you if it "wasn't" chambered in .243
Long or short refers to the length of the cartridge the action will handle. .308 (parent case of the .243) is a short action.
the smallest cal you should use would be a .243 but not something outragous like a .338 or some thing i hunt hogs with a 7mm-08.
You will have to measure it. Hammer-forged barrels made by Baikal can have quite a bit of variation in the rate of twist. I have a Baikal .243 that was supposed to have 1:10. I measured it, and it is actually 1:8.6!!
no the rifle is 85 cal and is second lowest to the pistols
Your Browning safari model bolt action rifle was made by FN of Belguim for Browning in the Year 1963.
