I may regret not getting that Model 70 I have always coveted!

I hope they buy it. It would be a huge upset to see winhcester shut down.. I own a Winchester 1300 in 20 gauge and i love it. I would love to buy a Model 70 in .270 as soon as i get some $ together. Winchesters have been selling fast at the gun shop i go to.

I got a 1938 Mod 70 carbine late last year. It's value has nearly doubled.

I am proud to say I have owned a Model 94 since the early 70's and was given my fathers model 70 after he passed. Both were manufactured in the late 40's. Both are the true essence of the winchester brand. Extremely well built, accurate, and dependable. Both can still shoot half inch groupings at 100 yards. At least in the right hands. They will be passed to my son, and I hope to my grand children and great grand children. I believe that they will still shoot just as well then as they do today if they are cared for.

Better yet: get one made in the year in which you were born, and take care of it. Treat it like something special, because to you,it will be.
