Browning made quite a few reproductions of Winchester rifles over the years. Most of them were very high quality. I've got a Browning Model 52 22lr that I need to go shoot, and as others mentioned, they made a Model 71/348 Win. Always wanted one to convert to 50 Alaskan (didn't want to change an "original" M71).

There was a model 71 on here for quite awhile. Not sure why it never sold. Wish I had the money for when it was here.
I wouldn’t mind shooting a 405 myself
Bring it on!! Cant be worse than a 3-1/2" mag out of a 12 ga. Or a 45-70.

Love to have one in 7.62X54R
An original that is...

Looks like the ones that sold are from $850 to $900 checking the completed sales. Those reproductions killed the value of the originals. Around the mid 80's I was offered a ton of money for an original 30 Government 06 (30-06) made around 1914. I figured if it was worth so much I might as well hang on to it and wait. It lost about 1/2 its value when the reproductions came out. But it was fun having an original that was in 90% condition.
Held a musket in my hands in the 80's and could have bought it for $350, bought the other Winchester instead. Could only afford one of the two guns offered and bought the wrong one. Such is life before Google.
This 30-06 finishes up tomorrow evening. Currently it has 30 bids
