ad-closed BROWNING MODEL 71 .348 CAL SOLD...

[CURT VOKOUN]

FOR SALE:  BROWNING MODEL 71 IN .348 CAL.

The Model 71 is based on a simplified (for more efficient production) version of the John Browning designed Winchester Model 1886.   The .348 cartridge and the Model 71 rifle were designed for each other and the only rifle ever produced in .348 was the Model 71.  The .348 was originally intended as an all-around woods cartridge for use on Class 2 and Class 3 North American big game (from deer to moose). However, while the .348 is not as vicious a kicker as most modern Magnum cartridges, it is hardly trifling. The cartridge's considerable recoil, especially in the carbine model, and the substantial weight of the Model 71 rifle, limited its popularity as a deer cartridge in the lower 48 US states. It ultimately made its reputation for use on large (Class 3) animals and the cartridge was well regarded in Alaska and Canada.

I AM WILLING TO MEET UP FOR THE SALE.  I AM LOCATED IN COOKEVILLE, TN.  I WILL INCLUDE 3 BOXES OF AMMO WITH THE SALE OF THIS GUN.  PLEASE PM ME IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS.
