RE: Winchester going under
Ithaca went out of buisiness again around October of last year. They had justtransferred theplant in Auburn NY, and borrowed a bunch of $ from New York. They had some production problems/quality isssues and just never turned things around. I think New York State now owns the rights to the Ithaca name. Almost bought a Deerslayer II yesterday, just cause they are difficult to find. Barrels are getting very hard to find also.
