Winchester will continue to build shotguns. They are also discontinuing their model 70 bolt actions. This is probably because Winchester is owned by the same company that owns Browning. Browning will be the company that makes the bolt actions.Looks more like bean counting than anything else.

Winchester should come out with a shotgun built on the Browning patent for the old Auto-5 if both company's are owned by the same parent company.
Both Remington and Savage have purchased the rights to do so in the past and sold a bunch of them.
It would give Browning the ability to build a slightly cheaper model of the same gun, without cheapening the Browning name.
