Hi Folks!
Back in the 70s and 80s, Browning did a re-release of the classic, single-shot Winchester 1885 called the B-78. They were very highly finished with well figured stocks, including a prominent cheek piece.
The “Blue Book of Gun Values” lists two B-78 models, a “B-78” and “B-78 Sporter”. However, other reference sources only list one model, the “B-78”.
Were there two versions? Or just one?
BTW … The Browning B-78 is different than the later Browning/Winchester 1885. That’s an entirely different story.
Thanks!
Dave
