The 38-55 sounds neat but for that kind of money and the lawyer proof design plus probably being made in Japan......I think I'm converted over to Marlins and just shoot the Winchesters I have....afish4570

[Don McDowell]

Any guess on when they'll actually hit the streets?
That 24 inch 38-55 would sure enough get my attention.

[Gihon]

DPris,
Does that 24" 38-55 have crescent buttplate that seem to show up on all the new 94's or the shotgun (?) style stock

Me too I really want one the takedown Model 92's they did this year though. Guess i like 'em short 'n sassy

[DPris]

No "probably" about it, the 94s are & will be made in Japan.

No idea on availability.
Short rifle is shotgun buttplate, Sporter is crescent.

Rebounding hammer = strike 1
Tang safety.............= strike 2
Unreasonable price ..= strike 3
Made in Japan..........= strike 4

Not interested

There is still millions of used AMERICAN ones out there for me to choose from.

A BIG + for the made in Japan, but all -s for the other parts. At that price I'll put my money in an original pre-war 1894.

[TedH]

I'll save my money for an old Winchester.

[Canuck Bob]

I bought one of Lypsey's 92's and imported to Canada. The gun was on sale but importing takes its toll. I agree the price was high but it was a decision i was willing to make to get a new TD model.

The other issues regarding the safety and such are quite legitimate for a proper Winchester clone. I try and call mine a Winoku to make it clear its not an original. I accepted that it was a trade off but at least mine has no collector value so shooting it a bunch and carrying with me a lot isn't an issue. I like tang safeties if I have to have one so that was no real problem. I would not take the plunge for the new 94s because lots of nice used 94s are available in Canada at a reasonable price.

Japanese construction was not a problem at all. The quality puts my 444 to shame in all honesty.

[Chuck 100 yd]

They wont be getting any of my money for those as long as real Winchesters are available for half as much.

[DPris]

Joe,
Glad we caught you in a good mood.
But, I don't see who you think you're fooling, we all know you're gonna be all over these new Winchesters.
Denis

Wow Great news from USRAC. even better is that in a year or so Turnbull Restoration's will probably do a run of these and make them "Right". just like they did this fall with the USRAC 92's.
