Hello Campers. I require some help on deciding which gun to buy and thought some of you might be able to help out.
I've been after a light, fast handling and reasonably hard hitting rifle for deer and boar in the woods for a while now.
Originally, I had a Winchester 71 .348 in mind, fitted with a Williams peep sight and when a Browning 71 carbine with a peep sight showed up on eGun I thought it was my time to strike.
Needless to say I wasn't successful in my effort to win the auction. Then a Winchester 94 Big Bore in caliber .356 Winchester caught my eye and a little later I found another Browning 71, this one a rifle.

Now I am here and looking for some advice on this situation. I'll lay out the facts as I see them:

Browning 71:
- New in box
- Caliber .348 Win.
- Open iron sights
- 24" barrel
- Drilled and tapped for receiver peep sight
- No safety
- 995,-€

Winchester 94
- Like new, barely used
- Caliber .356 Winchester
- Open iron sights
- 20" barrel carbine
- No safety
- Angle Eject model, drilled and tapped for scope mount
- Comes with reloading dies, cases and 75 rounds of ammo
- 1235,-€

Which one would you recommend and why? Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
