Description: General Specs: Browning, Year 1970, 20 Gauge, 5lbs 14oz, Chokes IC/M, LOP 14 3/16", DAH 2 1/4", DAC 1 1/2" Serial Number: 59060 V70 The Browning Superposed is one of the finest over/under shotguns in history and one of John Browning’s most prolific designs. Produced in plain jane field grades to the most elaborately engraved and finely stocked shotguns ever seen, production of the Browning Superposed was done in Belgium, running strong from 1931 through 1977 when production stopped. In 1969 Browning introduced the Superposed "SUPERLIGHT" in the 20ga. and finally was born a true upland bird gun. A typical Browning Lightning model weighs about 6 1/2lbs. in 20ga. At 5lbs. 14oz. and balanced perfectly between the hands, this 20 bore Superlight is over 1/2lb. lighter! This is a dynamic upland bird gun, with its straight hand stock, rounded frame, and slim field style forend that can be carried all day without fatigue. This gun, sn59060 V70 built in 1971, is one of only 746 total 20ga. Superlight guns made between 1969 and 1977. Better yet, the gun retains 99% factory original condition with only a few light handling marks in the wood. Highly desired by upland hunters that are in the know, these guns usually trade in the mid-$4000 range or more when in used condition showing noticeable wear on the bottom of the receiver and barrels and the usually nicks and dings from use. This gun, with 99% factory blue on the receiver, barrels, and trigger guard, with only the slightest wear by the safety button, clean inside and out and barely fired is worth a good bit more. Keep in mind that this gun is POST SALT WOOD ERA, PRODUCED IN 1971 AFTER THE DEBACLE HAD ENDED. Many of the earlier Browning guns produced between 1966 and 1970 were plagued with salt stocks and are not worth as much as the later guns. There are few Over/Under 20ga. shotguns that weigh under 6lbs. The Superposed 20ga. guns have been going up in value in the last year or two, so they are a great investment quality gun that will be worth more in the future as you care for it and enjoy its use.
