I posted this up in the Big Bore forum, but this might be a better place for a Winchester question.

I am contemplating purchasing a 1997 Winchester Model 70 "Classic Express" in .375 H&H. It's an itch that I have had since my first pre-64 Model 70.

From everything I have read this is a great rifle from the end of a great period in Winchester's manufacturing history in New Haven.

Is there anything that I should be aware of from rifles manufactured during this period, good or bad?
