coniferPrice check, pls: Browning '71 .348...NEW in orig. box
I have one of these....mint/new/unfired in original Browning packaging and box. Apparently, they were made only in 1987 (?). ....built just like original Win., with half-cock safety.
Can any of you AR gurus suggest a possible selling price, such that I can consider selling it? Thanks!!!

Last one I bought was a rifle version NIB, they made a short barreled carbine version as well, but paid 800.00 for it. That was some 10 years or so ago and today a rifle would bring something in the 1000.00 to 1400.00 range. Some ask more, but believe transaction price in range I show. High Grades bring considerable more, but a hunter not likely to be looking for one of those unless he just wanted the "fancy" version. They are excellent rifles and the handling/balance is second to none levergun wise in my opinion. If you do establish a selling price, would be interested in talking with you about it. Put me at the top of the list!! Is yours a rifle or carbine version??

ColoradoMattMFD's price suggestion is very close, and I agree with his opinion regarding handling/balance. They made fewer rifle versions than carbine/short rifle versions, which may command a slight premium for the rifle version. The Browning 71 is second to none among magazine tube lever guns IMHO.

Woodrow SI bought a new one 6 months ago, carbine version for 899.00 and they had the rifle version too for the same price. I took the carbine for hunting here in the PA woods. Yes, they are fine rifles.
