I don't think any "Winchesters" were sold until Browning stopped selling theirs around the early 2000s. Then came the Winchesters, then new Brownings marked "B78", but actually the newer 1885 design. Those may still be in production, along with whatever Winchester is selling.
The Holy Grail for me would be one of the 1885 High Wall Traditional Hunters in .30WCF or .38/55, to go with my .44. Never seen one for sale. Another good one would be a Browning LW .243 or (drool) .260. Wood quality and finish, and metal polish on the Brownings has been superior to any of the Winchesters I've seen. Both of mine are very nice.
Speaking of .22s, a guy at the range Wednesday had an original Ballard that had been converted to .22 at some time in the distant past. The forend on the right side just in front of the receiver had a protrusion with holes drilled to hold cartridges. Never saw that before. He said it shot just about any ammunition very well.
