I have this same rifle in left hand. It is a controlled feed, but was not manufactured until the late 80's. I believe Winchester was calling this line the Classic.

I have heard people say they do not like these since they are not built like the original Pre-64, and I cannot disagree with that. However, mine handles and shoots like it was made especially for me. It is a well balanced tack driver.

If this one were left hand I would have liked to have had it.
