Winchester Custom African Express: Any Experience/Comments?
      30/07/09 02:56 PM

I've lusted after these since the first time I saw them catalogued, and I'm seriously considering buying one. Anyone own one, or have first-hand experience with them? I know the later New Haven Model 70's had some issues, but from what I understand the "factory" work on African Express rifles was limited to providing the action and marking the barrels (which I think are Kreiger). Apparently NECG installed the sights and two independent stock makers were contracted.

Anyway...they ain't cheap (about the same price as a pre-'64 Super Grade African) so if anyone has some comments to share I'd love to hear them before I drop any money on them.
