Some new stuff available from Winchester...

[1899]

Winchester is now listing an 1895 Grade 1 in 30-40 Krag (!), .30-06 and .405 Win. - it's nice to see the Krag on the list - maybe the .303 British is next, although I won't hold my breath. Production will be "limited". MSRP is US$1179

And, there is the new Model 70 Safari Express available in .375 H&H, .416 RM and .458 WM. It lists for US$1279

The Super Grade, Extreme Weather SS, Ultimate Shadow and Sporter are now also available in .338 Win Mag.

Nice Model 1895.Would like to see a reintroduced Winchester Model 1886 extra lightweight in .50-110.

 

[rem338win]

Am I ever glad to hear about the reintro of the 338 WM. - haven't looked or asked, but could I fix an old style Rifle Basix Model 70 trigger into a FN Model 70 action?

Nice Model 1895.Would like to see a reintroduced Winchester Model 1886 extra lightweight in .50-110.

I wouldn't want to spend a day at the range shooting that thing! My Sharps in 50-70 is bad enough. 50 rounds @ 565gns of lead over 63gns of GOEX = a black/blue/green shoulder. This is with an 11lb rifle.

I would have liked to have seen them re-introduce an 1886 in .45-70, to compete with all the .45-70's Marlin sells.

In regards to the Safari, I like how they're getting back into the big bore game, looks like an okay rifle for the price. Would prefer Rigby over Remington though.

.... with a 22" bbl, 1/2mag, shotgun butt, no checkering, folding rear sight and drilled for a lyman or williams receiver sight.

They are:

Experience the power and performance of the legendary 45-70 Govt. cartridge in this magnificent Model 1886 Extra Light Grade I rifle from Winchester Repeating Arms. Another of John M. Browning’s great firearm designs, the Model 1886 features a deeply blued receiver, lever and barrel, along with a matching blued steel end cap and straight buttplate. The half-length magazine helps keep the rifle trim and easy to carry, both afoot and on horseback. A rich satin finish accents the smooth walnut stock. A top-tang safety, adjustable buckhorn rear sight and blade front sight constitute the finishing touches on this legendary rifle. If you’ve always wanted to ride into the sunset with a great piece of Western history across your saddle, make sure you get your Model 1886 now, because its production will also be very limited.

Supercub - 22" barrel, no checkering, 1/2 mag and MSRP of US$1269!

You are so difficult to please!

Not really, but now I gotta choose between a new 86 and a Ruger #1 in 303.

why don't they make a 92 that won't brake the bank

Well that was the 2009 Shot Show special:

Available in .357 or .44 Mag - MSRP US$1069

I bet Clay could get you one.

 

[Applefarmer]

Lovely rifles, my busted shoulder groans at the site of them.

 

[iroc22]

Limited run 1886 eh....well might be tough to get your hands on it, just like the 1892 they made last year.

 

[Gatehouse]

Always liked the 1895's...

 

[28 gauge]

The .50-110 can't be any worse than my .405 or .348.Most likely I would not want to shoot any of them all day at the range either. Have always wanted a .50- 110 but could never find one in my price range.Also I like the extra light weight version of the Model 1886.Have one in .45-70 Government calibre.

I also see a couple commemorative Model 1894s on the website:

I wonder if this means we will be seeing a return of regular Model 1894s. I'm guessing that these ones are made in Japan, like the new 1895, 1886, and 1892 leverguns.

I read on another site that they are bringing out an Oliver Winchester 94 this year.

Last night I was cruising their site. They have a 1886 take down in 45-90. That would be nice. I want one of each except the 94. I guess the tang safety is better than a cross bolt.
