few years ago i purchased a Winchester 71 348 special " they were not called deluxe" mine is about 99 % from a very old gentleman who knew i would take care of his pride and joy his 348 and now its a safe queen . myself i always wished Browning would have manufactured some BLR`S in a 338 Win. mag. S.S. alloy frame , my reason is with the 338 Win mag. cartridge this cartridge would do well at close range on an animal and still do well out 400 yards or maybe farther , and brass for a 338 Win. mag. is very easy for me to get too.
