I have an Oberndorf "B" Sporter, but it has a pre64 70 bbl on it in 30/06 ctg. It's a great rifle too. But it's 1/2 Winchester.

I love how the knob on the bolt is moved lower and seems less in the way when carting around a right hand bolt on your left side. For lever actions I like the Marlin 1893,93. Savage 1899 and prewar 99. Also. "Shoot low sheriff, I think he's riding a shetland!" B. Wills

Winchesters are great, but don't have the history, feel or panacea of the continental rifles. Wow! What a comparison. After a Civil War, mass expansion of an entire country, Indian wars and railroads linking the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, all with Winchesters in hands of most of these people, to say there is no history is ridiculous. The whole world was watching America during these years and America didn't care what was going on over there. The history of the world paled in comparison to was going on in the United States. Winchesters were everywhere and involved in both sides of any conflict and useful in the hands of the settlers as they shaped a vast, uncharted land into a new country. If you want to use a word like "panacea", you might want to use it in a different sentence...

Been slog on too many hunts and shoots very well for me. Beyond that one, I'm not sure who else really makes rifles besides Winchester... Semper Fi

I also don't shoot a Colt SAA worth a dip so I don't even consider them even thought they are a classic.
