Gil,

Very good post. I own Winchesters in the following models: P-17, 94 and 1300. Winchester has been on the "slippery slope of decline" for a while and hence we had the U. S. Repeating Arms Company step in for a time that seems now to have passed.

With the decline in PA deer, I doubt any young hunter will miss the demise of the Winchester name on a gun he never has a deer to shoot at. It is only the old folks who will have a sense of loss. What a shame.

Adam
