On my list was to pick up a win 71 for my son to hunt with. Deer and black bear. He likes mine and so do I. Was looking for one with an added pad or too many holes drilled, to give him to bang around on the tree stand. What I found was a 1942 short tang deluxe with bolt peep, maybe a 90 to 95% gun. I loved it. So son gets the old 71. Charlie Last edited by crsides; 04/13/17.

I think it was a $3400 gun, so was pleased with the transaction. this year, I found the 71 I was looking for to start with. Added coat of varnish, maybe reblue, later 1950's standard version with no checkering, buckhorn rear sights. Looks nice from 10 feet away, it was 1/3 the money.

Right now I have all the LH Model 70s I need, believe it or not , but I am coming around to the idea that I now need a 71! If I live long enough, though this is the kind of thing that keeps me going these days! Norm Last edited by Anjin; 12/06/17.

I am however holding out for the 'real McCoy" so I can make use of the original bolt peep that I wrangled out of local gun show vendor for much less than it's worth. (The Browning 71 does not have the bolt slotted for the bolt peep). I never thought I'd grow up to be a grumpy old man, but I did, and I'm killin' it.
