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.

Still blows my mind what that man did with the resources available to him…

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!

Yeah I understand business and being a shark and all (like Mr. Winchester) but damn, I would have paid that man whatever I could and put him in the building with me!

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.
