Very nice, and you know, as popular or not popular as these are, once you take one apart and look at its simplicity, that’s when someone would’ve figured out John Browning was an absolute unit of a genius.

When I got hooked on Winchesters out of high school in 77, no one wanted them, until the Terminator came out! Mr Browning was the best! Winchester let him get away!

Just when his latest design was one of the greatest shotguns of all time, the immortal hump-back!  Remington & Savage were smart enough to cater to his wishes.  Remained in production almost a century.
