ok, everyone. i need some advice. apparently winchester ( or USRAC?) have gone into receivership, and the stock currently on australian shelves is all we're going to get. so my question is this: should i rush out and pick up one of the few featherweights left? i want a light, carry around rifle that i can use for pigs/goats and varmints, and also spend a long day at the range, so was thinking .243 or one of the .25's. i have never owned a winchester, soi want some sound, well argued advice on whether this is a great rifle in it's own right - not just the usual winnie versus rem rivalry. tell me the strength/weakness etc. i should add that i will handload, and don't want to buy anything thatisn't almost odds-on toshoot MOA or better. i suspect these rigs will become classics if winchester goes down, but the rifle must be a shooter to justify my purchase. many thanks in advance for any help received.......
