Anybody ever see a Supergrade in 7mm-08 with factory irons?

link to CDNN

I'd LOVE a Supergrade with irons but I think their picture must be inaccurate.

I called CDNN and they think the pic is correct, but the operator says their warehouse is off-site and didn't seem interested in actually opening a box and checking for me...

I called Winchester with the SKU and they think it's a 2014 SHOT special. It is a 7mm-08 Supergrade, but shouldn't have irons.

So is anyone aware of some distributor special or the like, that may have factory irons?

All of my Super Grades have an Ebony fore end.
The one in the picture looks like a Sporter or an Express.

That's a very good point, I forgot about the ebony tip! I think it's probably a super grade we all know, without irons

That's an Alaskan.

Note the stock comb, barrel lump and long action as well as the lack of forend tip.

Ongwe you are correct, 100%
Good catch.

Never say never about anything Winchester might or could have done.

That may not apply to todays Winchester but it did in the past.

Yep, looks just like my Alaskan.

I wonder how the current crop of Super Grades are.

I have had one of the ones with the stock designed by Curt Crum from the late 1990's/early 2000's.

I also had a Post-64 super grade in 375.

The Post 64 was a pretty nice gun, but not controlled round feed. Was fairly well made.

The Curt Crum designed M70 Classic was a complete POS. Nothing against the stock designer, Winchester folks inletted it with a chainsaw. A dull one at that.

I have not seen one since FN took over production from the union slobs in CT.

They are very nice. There is another thread floating around about Super Grades with high praise. I have 5 and really think highly of them. 22/250, 270, 300 Win Mag, 338 Win Mag, 375 H&H, fit and function are flawless.

Here's the link to the other thread:

I had one in the early nineties, shortly after the Classic action was brought in. The comment about inletting with a chainsaw is very close, and if anything too kind. Maybe a backhoe. These ones were still coming out of the custom shop too. I can say that the wood was spectacular even if the stock looked like it was homemade.

Constrast that to my last one, a .270 that was one of the Cabellas 50th issue. Its what they called a Supergrade Featherweight, or a featherweight barrelled action in a Supergrade stock. The only thing that I can find wrong with it is that a 22" barrel just doesn't look to be in exact proportion to the stock, but that's subjective and is definitely in the what you see is what you get category. Execution is flawless, and I was able to scoop it up for about 1/2 of MSRP. The wood isn't exactly spectacular but is a dense chunk of timber and it really helps that it was put together by someone who had seen a rifle before.
