A 68 should be a true Belgium browning...thats manufactured and assembled...they moved assembly to portual in the early to mid 70's with the type 2..i think. I have a grade 1 and 2..my brother has a newer portugal gun..good gun..but you gotta watch what you shoot out of the type 2 and newer guns..the bolts will bust..i think hes put like 6 bolts in his due to shooting higher quality bullets..cheapest crap you can find..shoots like a charm..anything nicer than than high end hornady...bust the bolt like a cracker...the older type ones..will bang whatever you put in them...that comes straight from a retired browning master smith. He educated me and my brother both on the shortcomings of newer brownings...older is always better on these guns and blr too..apparently the newer ones will bust the outer reciever if you shootem enough..stuff like that. Thats what makes this one so special..id buy it if i could afford it..this is a dang good gun.
