I have a Browning 65 and 53, 218 Bee and 32-20 respectively. Both are beautiful rifles and better fitted and finished than any original Winchester of the same models. My 65 is far more accurate than the two original 65s friends owned and shot. Never had the opportunity to shoot any original 53s. Handled a few in shops and at gun shows but never shot any originals.

Chronographs, bore scopes and pattern boards have broke a lot of hearts.
