RE: Winchester going under
Sheels over here put all their Winchesters in the back room and are setting on them waiting to run the price up. Sportsmans Warehouse said a guy from Scheels came in and bought every Model 70 that they had. They are now taking people names that call in and telling them that when they find a Model 70 they will call them. They won't have to look very hard.[:@]I have done a ton of business with Scheels but no more.
I heard yesterday that someone is going to buy the outfit and make the guns again but the deal may take up to three years to get going again. I just heard this from a Dealer that I visit with at gun shows. I have no Idea where he got his info or if its true or not.
This should help Marlin out a lot. They will own the cowboy action shooting market. They should buy Winchester. They would own the lever action market then. Of course the lever action market is not so good except for the cowboy action game. Same for the single action revolver.
