I got ahold a Belgium made Browning 30-06 Semi-Auto Rifle. Only marking on the gun are Made in Belgium, Patent Pending, 30-06 Caliber only and 66025 M9. I have gone to Browning website to look up the serial number but have had no luck. Can anyone give me an idea as to when this rifle was made, What model it is and what it may be worth? This is my first Browning, I have heard that the Belgium made are the best? That true?

Thanks
Scott
