There were some later copies of the Winchester Model 71 that I think were made in Asia and sold as "Browning" guns. They are of excellent quality. I don't know what they would be worth today. By the way, they are a lot heavier than a lever-action .30-30 or .35 Remington.

This gun is often converted to the .450 Alaskan or .50 Alaskan cartridge because it is designed to handle the large diameter case head of the .348 Winchester cartridge. Its weight makes more sense with those more powerful cartridges. (But its steel butplate doesn't!)
