Hi guys, I'm looking for some help dating my rifle. I went on the Browning website and for some reason it doesn't seem like I can get a manufacturing date from my serial number using their chart. Also, the owner manual sais the serial number should be on the right side above the lever, but its on the bottom. At least I think that's the serial number. Any idea why its located there? Here's some pictures.

Here's the link to the dating chart on the Browning website.

My dad recently gave me this rifle. I know he's had it since the mid 80's. Thanks for any help.
