You are afflicted with a common disease.
Never owned a Winny but those look nice.

No, I'm not a Ruger bigot - just an unabashed fan of their revolvers, M77's and #1's.
A good .30-06 is a 99% solution.

Not necessarily in this caliber but I do want one !!! Comes in 264 300 7mm rem mag 270 30-06. I either got the calibers or just like them (7mm bee 300 bee 6.5 bee etc) It comes in 243 and 308 but these are non players https://www.gunbroker.com/item/830717409I'll offer you a suggestion. Find yourself a nice New Haven M70 in the long-action chambering of your choice and then wait for CDNN or some other outfit to have some of the left-over maple stocks. I say long action because almost all of the short-action New Haven rifles were Fwt contour bbl. There were a very few short action sporters thrown together just before they shut down in New Haven. New Haven only had long-action SuperGrades if you're looking to swap like-for-like into the maple stock. You'll also need either a newer 1-piece bottom-metal set or the plastic adapter for the older style 2-piece bottom metal.

Fotis,
With all due respect , that is one fugly impractical rifle that is only suited for safe queen status. My idea of perfection in a factory rifle is a weatherby classicmark. Yup I have a ClassicMark 1 in 460 bee and a ClassicMark 2 in 416 bee. Love them

Maple stocked rifles have alot of potential, to me anyway. The thing I don't like is generally they're finished to look like the floor of a basketball court, and the checkering looks like its been done with a wood burner. Much better would be some of the darker finishes seen on traditional muzzleloaders.

Well I can understand that maybe a little. Also some might regard this rifle as strictly a range and safe queen. However from what I understand, the wood on the super grade maple is heat treated in some fashion making it very dense. A process whereby it makes the wood less likely to chip and be much more weather resistant to the elements as well. A wood treatment that makes the stock more durable. If that be the case and if ever inclined to own the super grade maple, I would not necessarily classify this rifle as strictly a safe queen. Two classic chamberings in this rifle; 30-06 and 300 Win.

On the Winchester site, I also see the AAA French walnut super grade for a few hundred $$$$ more.....................That one looks pretty damn good too.

Probably because it's sexy as hell, and comes in a cool caliber... (264)

Fotis, I have no idea why you want one...but as they say Different strokes.. DVDGeorge has one in .270...a proven shooter and he loves it....so there you go. Ive got a Ruger #1-A which many folks consider to be as ugly as a mud fence...so there you go. Like the old joke.." Who you gonna please with THAT thing?".............ME!
