I've owned all three. Unless its just for the novelty of it, I would just keep the browning. The ammo for the 444 and 45/70 are just going to get harder to find. As each new caliber comes out, the manufacturers will tool up for them and pretty soon just the smaller outfits are going to be the only ones producing the ammo. That means extremely limited availability. As it is,You'd be crazy to trade the Browning; if you absolutely don't care for it, sell it, and use the money to buy what really would be a luxury for you.

Traded it to Gvit.I've been thinking a BLR is my next gun. Let me know if you put a price on it.
I owned two BLR's. Nice enough rifles. But they all need to be sent to a qualified gunsmith for a first class trigger job. Only a few have the skills to do it. Expect to spend about $250-$300 for the work and shipping both ways.
Traded it to Gvit.
I think I am going to reload or have someone reload for me.
