Deker 3,491 Posted December 13, 2007 Report Share Posted December 13, 2007 This gun, like many in the Winchester range is ancient history but there is an old phrase, if it ain't broke don't fix it. Winchester as such is dead and buried, they should have stuck to their core business, but they are back with this. The model 70 was always an excellent rifle, with a massive range (perhaps just too much choice) I really hope the new production plant keeps the build quality up and this is sure to be a winner. http://www.riflemagazine.com/magazine/PDF/ri235partial1.pdf Quote Link to post
Guest Lord B Posted December 14, 2007 Report Share Posted December 14, 2007 They do make cracking rifles. I have recently send away an 1866 Yelloboy .44 cal that my great grandfather brought back from America, to be de-activated. Plod won't let me havi it anyomre But it will look pretty fine on the wall of the gun room once the proof house have done their thing. Quote Link to post
