I saw one of these for sale. A New Haven, Conn. manufactured Model 70 .338WM in the Classic Super Express model. It was said that only 100 of these were made as part of a special run in 2004 and that the gun was not catalogued by Winchester. Red butt pad, express sights, dual cross bolts and, of course, CRF. Anyone know about the truth of this claim? Also, it is offered NIB at $1500. Thanks. Will J. Parks, III | ||

I am not sure about it being catalogued or not, but the red butt pad indicates it was a USRA/Pre-FN build, which for the most part I have found to be a good thing.

Will- Buy that rifle and come out to Washington and do some Elk hunting while waiting to go back to Africa. It's a great Elk cartridge. The only easy day is yesterday! | |||

Nice rifle. Too bad Winchester and Ruger don't/didn't offer smaller, identical versions of their big bores in classic safari cartridges. Hunting: Exercising dominion over creation at 2800 fps. | |||

Three was one last year at a Gander Mountain store in Lakeville Minnesota of all places. The price tag was under $1000. Needless to say, it didn't last long. | |||

Looks great! That version of the Winchester stock is my favorite. I bought a take-off barrel from a Super Express like that and put it on a 7 mag action that was gathering dust...I'm happy with it. Only difference is mine didn't have a barrel band sling mount. Just about the perfect plains game gun. Especially if paired up with a 416 Rem. for the bigger stuff.

EXACTLY my thought. I've been a fan of a 458 and a 375 for a safari battery, but I've recently decided a 338 and a 416 might be the perfect combo for me. Now on to the 416. Will J. Parks, III | |||

When I sold guns I sold one to a guy and I cried as he went out of the store.... I thought it was a classy rifle and at the time thought it would be easy to get another one... | |||
