Default RE: Lee rifle?

Yes. The Lee Navy was made by Winchester. It is a straight-pull bolt action in 6mm Lee. The .220 Swift is based on a necked-down versioin of this case. This rifle was the one used by the Marine American Legation guard contingent in Peking during the Boxer Rebellion. (See the movie 55 DAYS AT PEKING starring Charleton Heston!!
