jackie treehorn: Many years ago when I first started my lobbying campaign to the moderators of this site for a "Winchester Collectors" forum, I envisioned a more civil/sophisticated level of communication and discourse if it ever came to be.
I guess I was wrong in that expectation?
My eventual victory in attaining a "Winchester Collectors" forum has been dampened by the occasional descent into disrespect for others opinions, experiences and or preferences in this forum.
I see no reason for this thread to have degenerated into what it has.
I am not criticizing anyone for differing in their opinions or preferences but said differences should be and would be more meaningful if they were done respectfully!
I still like that 257 Roberts and enjoy looking at it (again?).
Hold into the wind
