  Seems like they did. .458 Mag Browning/FN Safari Grade, in the 1960`s.

According to the Matt Eastman guide to Brownings, the 458 Win Mag was chambered in both the F.N and SAKO bolt guns (from 1959 to 1963 for F.N and 1963 to 1975 for SAKO). The guns were made in Safari Grade, Medallion, and Olympian Grade.
