This is making me want a Browning 71. But I need to sell of my Remington 673
You will love it. Mine came from a PA native
It was was a graduation present to Bob Bell in 1942…….got to hunt it 4 years later he did….…busy in Europe …..
It had the barrel shortened. And it “was hunted”. His big game rifle when he went west after the war. Ear and elk and such. Hunted all over the continent.
He became a writer and did the scope section of Gun Digest with John Amber. Then editor of Pennsylvania Game News.
He was a hunter. Hated fishing. And a serious shooter.
He wrote about the use of that 71 many times. He hunted it working in a logging camp. When he went into the thick stuff he took it.
I read GD since the early 60s. Loved scopes. So I read his other articles……and wanted a 71.
Moved back to PA from CA and talking to my brothers best friend and it got to guns.
“I hunt with Bob all the time….my wife is his daughter’s best friend”. Says he.
Well Bob and I enjoyed scotch and guns. His 71 is still the slick action it was in 1942…. And I already know who it goes to when my time comes.
Sorry for the rambling…….all 3 calibers will work. The 71 action and good times are hard to beat.
