I would like to hear opinions about the Browning Medallist.
How popular is it? How much it cost in a good shape? (No red velvet case, no counterweigts, no screwdriver, just the plain pistol and 80% blue.
Versus the M41?.
How many matches win this pistol?
How much better than a custom Ruger?

Nothing wrong with the Medallist, allthough its an older pistol ofcourse.
Wouldnt worry too much about how many matches are won with these, cause its the shooter that wins, not the pistol!!
I'd say the browning is certainly on par with the Ruger MK pistol.
Whats it worth, in europe not much, between E100-250 I'd guess.(euro's)
Dunno about yr side of the pond.

Browning Medalist
The Medalist I own was the first .22 target pistol I ever bought.
New in 1972.
I still own it and shoot it ever once in awhile. It is the most reliable .22
I own.
The only negative comment I can make is the grips are a little large
for my medium size hands. I believe the Browning Nomads may have
been the same frame and the grips are smaller. Could be worth a try
if you ever run across a set of grips. I don't know that anyone ever/still
makes after market ones.
They certainly aren't on par with the current European .22's available
but my opinion is they are the equal to the Hi-Std Citation series probably
the M41 and superior to a Ruger.
But as they say...just my opinion.

MEDALIST CITATION
tHE PISTOL IS PHENOMINAL. I OWN ONE AND HAVE MUCH EXPERIENCE WITH SAME. TRUE ENOUGH, EVERYONE HAS THEIR FAVES. BUT TO COMPARE THE BROWNING WITH THE HI-STANDARD, TODAY, OR IN ITS HEYDAY30 YEARS AGO, WOULD BE LIKE COMPARING A ROLLS ROYCE TO A KIA. FOR THOSE WHO HAVE NOT SHOT OR OWNED ONE-I CAN FIND ONLY PITY.

Medalist
I owned a Medalist for awhile. It's a pretty gun. A couple of people in my bulleye league still shoot them. I tried it in competition, compared it to a Colt Match Target Woodsman and a High Standard. I could shoot either of the of them better than I could shoot the medalist. Not that it wasn't a nice gun, beautiful blueing and wood, but it just didn't fit my hand well. I sold it and the High Standard but kept the Woodsman. Now I shoot a Hammerli International for Bullseye. Not as pretty, but the scores are much better.
