I've had a chance to shoot several of these and they are very nice to shoot and usually quite accurate, though there are some that are slightly disappointing in the accuracy department. The Winchesters were supposedly patterned after the original B models with the english style cheekpiece and the Brownings were supposedly modeled after the 52C models with the Monte Carlo cheekpiece...

I will say that my Winchester 75 Sporters will shoot as well as the 52 repros IMO and are a little lighter to carry into the woods. Funny thing is they are commanding just about the same prices now as the 52 repros are getting...


Never underestimate your ability to overestimate your ability.
