Browning Model 71 – .348 Win – Winchester – Japan – Lever Action – MFG 1987
This is a no reserve penny auction for a Browning Model 71 lever action rifle in .348 Winchester. Serial number- 01067PR1R7. This rifle is in good condition with an excellent bore and features a 24" barrel, 4 round capacity, polished blued barrel/receiver, oil-finished stock and Williams sight! The "PR" code in the serial number reflects 1987 as the year of manufacture. The Browning Model 71 ejects empty cases straight up, so it’s not suitable for use with a scope. However, the left side of the action is drilled and tapped from the factory for a receiver aperture sight. In 1986-87 Browning (now a sister company to Winchester) made a limited run of about 13,000 Model 71s in its Miroku, Japan, manufacturing facility.
Please NOTE the stock has a slight crack that was repaired professionally in house.
