2015 Shot Show Winchesters?

About this time last year, very briefly, the 2014 Winchester site listed the Featherweight being available in .300 H+H....and then it vanished! Heart broken I put the money back in the kids piggy-bank. Maybe this year.
 
From what the Winchester 2015 site shows I'm not excited. Seems the model 70 line-up has added a standard sporter 300WM with a RMEF grip-cap and Super-Grade's in .243,7mm-08 & .308. Hope that's not it.

I'd like to see a M70 Featherweight stainless/walnut, in 6.5x55 or 7x57 or 7-08

That's purdy. Thumbs up on one in 6.5x55.
 
The COAL is listed as 1.77" for both the .454 and .475 - or is my info wrong?

Yer close on the overall length of the 2... 1.70" vs 1.77", but the kicker is the rim diameter... .600" for the .475 vs .512" for the .454 Casull. Winchester could easily do up a batch of Model 92's in 50 Action Express though which shares the same rim diameter, case length & C.O.L as the .44 magnum. Now that would be neat.
