I have always wanted a Winchester 71 and over the years and either they happened to show up when I had no money or when the timing wasn't right. Lately the local gun shop had a hoard of them come in, two original Winchester 71 Deluxe Long tang rifles in near mint condition and three Browning 71's all new in the box, all owned by one guy. He is in his 70's and doesn't hunt or shoot anymore, the Model 71's Winchesters were his but he never did much with them. He bought the Browning 71's for each of his three sons but none of his kids wanted them so they all stayed in the boxes except for cleaning occasionally. I found the last Browning, this one a short rifle (carbine to some) still in the box for $925. I did some serious horse trading but ended up with the gun, and I do plan on using it. Another local gun shop had three boxes of Winchester factory ammo on the shelf so I snagged them all and I plan on getting dies and looking into bullets and maybe a mold to get back into casting my own again.
