I've read in a couple of places that they may be planning it. Anyone know anything for sure? Any ideas about chamberings? Ken | ||

They told one gent on here they were, they told me they were not. At this point it is anyones guess. But my hunch is they will make a run of 30-06's and 300 Win Mags and then go from there if they sell. Purely speculation on my part. My biggest fear is when I die my wife will sell my guns for what I told her they cost. | |||

Yes, they will, some day.. I have spoke to Winchester several times lately and they were hoping to start production by early 2011. In the last few weeks they had a meeting and supposedly announced that due to the economy, production has been postponed for 2011. Take it for what it's worth. | |||

Oh boy! More 270s, 30.06s, 7 and 300 mags. Frank "I don't know what there is about buffalo that frightens me so.....He looks like he hates you personally. He looks like you owe him money." - Robert Ruark, Horn of the Hunter, 1953 NRA Life, SAF Life, CRPA Life, DRSS lite | |||

I just want a Featherweight in 308win, that sounds like a very reasonable request, but I'm sure it will NEVER happen. | |||

Or a 257 Roberts, but i figured those would be way to exotic for a lefty to own! | |||

Well...I'd like one in .416 Ruger. What are the odds? I'm selling some .22 magazines, so I've got a down payment! | |||

What's wrong with a LH Model 70 in 375 H&H? I would buy one in a heartbeat. | |||

There's nothing wrong with it at all but Winchester isn't going to make one any time soon, (probably in my lifetime). I have one from the last run of receivers built in New Haven in 2004 and it is the last gun that I will ever give up.

In following this thread...maybe they should just say: "We are going to make X number of LH SS actions, with a base price of $$. We will screw on a barrel/cal, of your choice for $$. And we will stock it in either wood or syn. for $$. | |||

Dream on...... | |||

In that case, I'll take two.. a 416Rem and a 264Win, please. That'd be nice! | |||

The custom shop...in the "old days" I called Winchester to let them know I'd sure like a SS .338 like they made once upon a time. The nice lady said there wouldn't be any off the shelf ones, but if I wanted the custom shop to make me one they could...for well over two grand. I picked up a blued .338 for $550 and it goes bang just fine. I still dream of...lots! | |||

I see several of our group are not WSM fans? I bought a feather weight LH in .270 WSM and frankly it is a dandy. It shoots 150 grn factory inside a inch all day long. On top of that its a very nice handling rifle. It may not be a popular opinion but its my opinion. It may one day replace my custom .284 sheep rifle. | |||

I picked up a Featherweight LH in .270 WSM a couple of years ago. I load it to .270 Winchester ballistics with a 130 gr Sierra and it's very accurate. Gun was used, had a Buckmasters scope mounted and they threw in a box of ammo for $550. | |||

I hope they bring them back but I hate the new trigger design. The older M-70 trigger was the best in the business for reliability and function IMO. ****************************************************************** R. Lee Ermey: "The deadliest weapon in the world is a Marine and his rifle." ****************************************************************** We're going to be "gifted" with a health care plan we are forced to purchase and fined if we don't, Which purportedly covers at least ten million more people, without adding a single new doctor, but provides for 16,000 new IRS agents, written by a committee whose chairman says he doesn't understand it, passed by a Congress that didn't read it but exempted themselves from it, and signed by a President, with funding administered by a treasury chief who didn't pay his taxes, for which we'll be taxed for four years before any benefits take effect, by a government which has already bankrupted Social Security and Medicare, all to be overseen by a surgeon general who is obese, and financed by a country that's broke!!!!!
