Browning 78

[Jaeger]

Well guys, I've got a sudden urge to get a browning '78 single shot rifle and need detailed information from you that is not generally available on the internet, brownings own historic pages, etc.

General question, were all the '78s made in japan or were the first made in Utah?  Any cut off or switch over dates and serial nos. would be helpful.

Also, if you have any lists of calibers avail. and when, octagon or round barrel, monte carlo or classic comb stock, etc.

I think you get the idea.

I am looking at a 6mm rem. round barrel and a 300 H&H REF gun, neither of which really floats my boat, the 6mm has a round not oct. bbl and I can't find it as an original chambering.  The 300h&h is a great cal. but the gun is too fancy.

I also found a Penn. and a Kansas, commemorative rifles that are absolutely gorgeous in checkering,carving and engraving but would hate to ruin a one run state gun hunting.

Let the experts on these guns expound forth!! and thank you.

Sorry, I'm no expert...

 

However, I do seem to recall that at one time Brownings were being manufactured in Japan, and then ASSEMBLED in Utah...
