These rifles were chambered in.270 only in honor of Jack O'Connor, thus the JOC reference. They had two models available...the Tribute (black rubber pad on stock with AA wood..msr...$1999.00), and the Custom Tribute (checkered metal butt plate and AAA wood...msr....$2499.00).

They only made the following numbers.........

Custom Tribute.....506
Tribute................410

Here's a link to a Winchester article regarding their unveling at the 2012 Shot Show.
