Title: Browning 71-1886...
Post by: BKMFR on February 09, 2014, 02:58:12 PM: Anyone shooting a Browning 71-348 or a 1886-45-70? Looking at couple of High Grades on Gun Broker right now and trying to convince myself to that I really need these.... :P

I have the Winchester Model 71 in .348. The Browning version is Japanese with production starting in 1987 I believe. I can tell you the caliber flat out is awesome for a levergun. As for the Browning version of the 71 I don't know. The Winchester version is solid.

Here's a pic of my 71.

Also a link with more info for you.

If you want a shooter and not spend the money on a nice collectable Winchester, its a great way to go. :twocents:
