For sale is a beautiful Browning BSS sidelock in excellent condition. This model was manufactured by Miroku and is one of the finest shotguns ever produced in Japan. It offers an outstanding value that is nearly impossible to beat. This particular example has been fired and used very little and is in excellent overall condition. 

The bar action H&H style sidelock ejector is coin finished, and hand engraved with a classic rose and scroll pattern. The highly figured European walnut (way above for a Browning Sidelock) has been fashioned into a straight hand stock paired with a splinter forend. Both present an excellent oil finish and sharp hand cut checkering. The checkered butt is a really nice touch of elegance.

The action and stock are balanced by 28" chopper lump barrels that are beautifully struck. Fixed chokes are MOD/FULL. 

As you would expect, the gun functions perfectly. The ejectors are strong and in time, the double trigger pulls are nice and crisp, and the lock up is perfectly solid. This gun is ready to provide a lifetime of service and you will look great while using it! This gun is begging to be taken to a South Dakota pheasant field!!! Hands down this is one of the highest quality guns you will find in this price range.

Here is a fantastic and thorough review on the Browning BSS sidelock from the Double Gun Journal, written by renowned gunmaker, James Flynn.
