Zappa: I haven't seen the Browning variants. How much do those go for and what model's were you referencing.[/QUOTE said:
I have several Brownings and love every one of them. These include a BL-22, BAR-22, BL-92, Citori Skeet and a High Power. Unfortunately they don't make the BL-92 anymore. It's basically a Browning made Winchester 92. The 92 itself was a JMB design which he sold to Winchester. The Browning built guns were made when Browning and Winchester were totally seperate companies. Nowadays they're pretty tough to come by. I saw one for sale at a gun show about 5 or 6 years ago and didn't have the $500 he was asking, which I thought was a bit expensive at the time anyway. Later I looked around for one and came up empty. Then a few months later I saw the same vendor at a different gun show and he still had the same Browning 92. By then he had jacked up the price to $575. I asked to examine the rifle and told him "it looks like the same one you've been schlepping around to the shows for the last several months". He looked at me kind of funny and admitted that it had been lingering in his inventory for longer than he expected. I then said "you had it priced at $500 at the Marlboro show, if you want to sell it now, I'll give you the $500. I wanted to buy it then, but didn't have the money at the time." He agreed and I took it home. The action is so slick and smooth that it puts my Marlins and Winchesters to shame.
