When is Winchester planning on doing another run of safari rifles?

[Hornedfrogbbq]

Front swivel no longer a barrel band and the stock is now a Monte carlo.

On the new Winchester Model 70's?

Mine is an older one and the swivel isn't a band either. I wish it was though

Midway had them last week in .458 win and .375 H&h. I’m wanting on in .416 rem though which were still out of stock otherwise I would have bought one.

I think a friend of mine has a custom shop model 70 416 Rem, stainless barrel , I think it has a removable brake, he wants $2300. Let me know if you are interested, I will see if he still has it.

Appreciate it. Was thinking blued steel and walnut though. My midlife crisis has fully hit Im pretty sure and instead of motorcycles and a 20 year old girlfriend I’m itching to collect some nicer firearms. Hopefully the wife doesn’t mind my choice of midlife crisis hobby.

It has wood stock. At. 71, I don't know what I would do with a 20 year old girlfriend , it would probably be an expensive choice

I was able to get one from Midway yesterday but they were out of stock today. They have already sent me a tracking number for mine

I sat with it in my cart for 2 days, Im an idiot.

Are you describing the newest Model 70? I'm referring to the Safari Express model.

I think that is only on the Alaskan model.

There are 7 new Safari Express 375 h&hs and about the same 458 win mags on GB starting around $1500 listed today so some new ones other than what Midway had are popping up. No 416 Rem mags yet though.

If I understand the OP and the title, he is asking about rifles and not ammo (I think).

Winchester sort of exists in name only. The name is owned by Olin Corp and they make Winchester ammo.

FN Herstal (Browning, et al) has rights to make rifles under the Winchester name

I agree! I see the name being used and being a Winchester collector and fanatic I want to say…

“Winchester will never make another rifle?!?! Winchester died in 2006 in New Haven Connecticut sadly…
But if you want a new FN they are available!”

I guess I’m still sad it happened or too uptight about it but I can’t come to calling a FN a Winchester! And I’d personally never own one!
Though I’m sure they are fine rifles, just not a Winchester!
