If someone got Browning to do a run of BSS's as a Sporting Clays/waterfowl/dove special, 12 or 20 ga., with 31" Barrels, light mod./mod., long, slim semi-beavertail, trim pistol grip, upgrade wood, sst, nice pad, 14 1/2" x 1 1/2" x 2 1/4", no options, @ $3999, who all here would put down a $1000 deposit with Browning for one.
Those wanting an English-stocked, splinter forend, double trigger game gun need not answer.
Thanks
JR

John, isn't that what the Turks are building right now, but at a fraction of the price?

Not judging, just asking, Treblig. To my knowledge, no Turkish maker is offering any such gun. Your reply was not what I asked for.

While that would be a heck of a nice gun for many of us, John, I doubt I would be in at that price. I understand that it would most likely take that to produce it and come out ahead, but I think some of the people who who would be in the market for that would think, "Hmmm, I can buy a nice BSS on the market for $1400-$1600 now, and is it worth the difference to me to have one inch longer barrels and upgraded wood?" I know you specified a couple other features as well, but I am just too myopic, I guess. You know me, and functionality is no. 1 for me. Looks come second. I'm first and foremost a shooter/hunter. The longer barrels are the most attractive feature for me, which is the reason I am sniffing the ground hard trying to flush a set of damaged BSS barrels to have sleeved to 32". The upgraded wood would have little to no meaning to me on a BSS. A vintage Fox or L.C Smith is another matter. I guess I just look at the BSS as more of a tool than an object of admiration. Interesting idea, and fun to consider, and it wouldn't surprise me one bit if I'm the only one that feels this way! SRH
May God bless America and those who defend her.

Oh I think you are in the majority, Stan. I just thought it would be revealing to a few here who wonder why Browning hasn't brought back the BSS in some form or another. Maybe they could do it for $3500 or so (I doubt it), but would that even make a difference?
I think many of us do not realize just how small the sxs market is. The gun I mention would fill a niche that probably has more interest than any other, thus the configuration I presented.
Just having fun. Let me know when you find that thirty inch gun we've talked about.

The trouble with well made guns is that with proper care, they very rarely if ever wear out...

If Wonko would separately post his question, we might learn something.
