I don't want some sort of compromise that's called an "improvement", but in reality is just another cost-cutting effort. Beleive me, everyone who is a true Winchester fan will see through that sort of stunt for exactly what it is...........

I want the same basic controlled-feed action as the original or current 'Classic' pre-64 Model 70, only without the coned breech and without the knurled bolt handle. Just provide a smooth bolt knob, a Mauser 98-type breech and gas escape system, and the original trigger, safety, and receiver. Also, I want the orignal style "Winchester" and "Trademark" logos on the receiver -- forget that cluttered licensing mumbo jumbo. And by all means, call it a Model 70!

I want precise tolerances, and good workmanship. Make this action worthy of the best efforts of the finest custom riflesmith, like a D'Arcy Echols or a David Miller, and you'll have it exactly right.

In fact, get in touch with D'Arcy Echols and hire him as a consultant. He may just know more about what's good and bad about the Model 70 than anyone at USRAC............
