    Browning Model B78

    Has anybody got one of these, It's a Browning Model B78 made in the mid 70's. It is chambered in 22-250 and will drive tacks at 150 yds. Love to shoot this gun. What do you think????20130324_135431.jpg

    for those that don't know the B-78 and Ruger Model 1 are clones of the Winchester 1885 rolling block, single shot. Both the Browning and Winchester were made by Miroku in Japan. The Ruger has always been made in the USA. I'm not sure of the years the Browning was made by Miroku but will look it up and let you know..
