Knowledgeable Gentlemen!
I have been bitten by that damnable Model 71 bug. It all started with a Marlin 1895 and has lead to the harder (and more pricey) stuff. Please give me your hard won opinions on the Winchester versus the Japanese made Browning model 71. I'm looking for a field piece, not a collector. Any real difference in strength, accuracy and handling between the two? I have read opinions in both directions but would be curious to see what you all have to say on this matter.
Many thanks in advance!
Tom
