Length of pull is 14-1/4'' over a 1'' Browning factory recoil pad; weight is 8-1/4 lbs. with the 12 ga. barrels. Mfg'd ca. 1980. Housed in a Browning Traditional takedown case with instruction manual and two keys. These desirable and seldom encountered sets were available direct from Browning to customers attending sporting goods trade shows or other sporting events. (Former property of 1973 Heisman Trophy winner John Cappelletti, who was a first-round draft choice of the NFL LA Rams and played 10 seasons in the professional ranks.) The set shows well and appears to have been used infrequently. Action is tight, bores are bright with light residue, and the trigger is crisp. There are a few small handling and assembly marks.
