Your browning model safari bolt action rifle was made by FN of belguim for browning in 1966.All the safari model FN mauser bolt action rifles had the gold inlay on the trigger guard and magazine floor plate.these rifles are starting to bring very good prices.They range in price between 650-1,000 dollars at this time.You must beware of these rifles having salt wood stocks though.This was a process that FN used to increase the speed at which there stocks dried.The problem was that the salt used in this process attacked the barrel and metal under the stock.This will be evident by the pitting of the metal once the stock has been lifted out of the stock.Your rifle is included in this due to its time of production(1966).If this is evident then the value of your rifle will be diminished.I would apply a cote of vasilene to help kep this problem at bay and clean and reapply every couple of months.I hope this info helps.

The circular switch with selections of S and R on a Browning BPS Special Steel shotgun is the magazine cut-off switch. When set to "R" (or "Rear"), it allows rounds to feed from the magazine tube. When set to "S" (or "Stop"), it blocks the magazine tube, allowing you to load and unload the chamber without cycling rounds from the magazine.

A magazine devoted mainly to cycling can be classed as a magazine of special interest (at least to cyclists).
