Return of the Win 70 ?

Supposedly there has been an announcement from Morgan, Utah that the Model 70 is back and set for 2008 production. It's to be made in Columbia, S.C. at the FN Manufacturing facility. The grades will be: Supergrade, Featherweight Deluxe, Sporter Deluxe and Extreme Weather SS. MSRP's will be $999-$1199 with street prices likely lower. It will have a hammer forged barrel, blade ejector, 3 position wing safety and a new M.O.A. trigger. Availibility starting in June of 2008. How about them apples? My info on this came off another site so, if this interests you, I'd suggest doing your own research.

did they say anything about there other guns they stopped making such as the 1300 or model 94?

Millerhunter13- The only one that was referenced was the 70. I wouldn't be surprised to see a 94, but I doubt the 1300 would be in the mix. Just my opinion.

I might buy a Winchester SuperGrade next summer?

Glad to see my favorite rifle manufacturer is back in business. Hopefully they will be producing quality firearms.
