Is that true that Winchester only makes rifles 3 times a year?
I ordered a rifle .243 Model 70 Featherweight on Feb. 13 and talked to my gun dealer and thats what I was told. He said I should have it sometime in the middle of April.

don't know bass pro shops always has one in stock. matter of fact, I saw a m70 featherweight in 243 last night when I was picking up some accubonds for my 300wsm. decided I want one in 7mm-08

I would think Winchester or any manufacture would build a product depending on supply and demand of that product. I can also see them or any manufacture running a tool once it's set-up and running well, so who knows.
