Models 1906,94 and 97. I was looking at a model 12 today. Almost bought a model 70 a while back, but left it for a friend to buy. He waited too long.
Unfortunately, the company recently went out of business, thanks to the unions. Rather than promoting people who were particularly skilled craftsmen, they had to promote based on seniority. The guns they were turning out when they closed didn't have nearly as tight a fit, nor as good a finish as the ones built 50 years. Ago. Thanks, unions!

Would not own one even if you paid me ! Winchester is an over used over rated firearm. Their yester year rifles were mid quality at best. Up until they shut the doors their quality went straight down the drain.
Lever actions = Winchester falls below Marlin
Bolt actions = Winchester is not even a top 10
Shotguns = Winchester is #5 on the list
Sorry but I dont share your thrill for the Winchester line.
Good Luck & Happy Shooting !~

Model 94 30-30.
I've got a friend that has the 1863 and the 1873 versions restored but in good shooting order.

Yep, i have a Modle 94 30-30 and a model 1300 pump shotgun. Both are great guns and are old, so the quality is higher. Id never sell either for any amount anyone offers.

They are everywhere. No one respects the newer ones though. Mostly because they moved production to China and and went bankrupt. Most modern Remington's are P.O.S. too, ever used a 597? But thats Capitalism for ya.
