If you want a .358 to hunt with (not a collector) why not buy one in .308 and have it re-bored or re-barreled? Lots of 308's out there cheap.

Big Bear you can contact this guy via email. He didn't have a redfield receiver site but maybe once he got back to his shop he will find one. Don't know where he gets all that stuff but he had a bunch of sites with him, and I know he is always on the lookout for them. Nice guy. contact him @ leesshop@pobox.alaska.netGood luck

Get a copy of rifle magazine. There are several re-boring gunsmiths in the ads in the back. I had a shot out .300WBY barrel re-bored to .340WBY for about $150.00 by Dick Nickel several years ago. It shoots great and I did not haave to worry about barrel contour, etc. Dick passed away recently but his equipment was sold to another smith who is still going strong and there are one or two others doing this. I would personally try to find a clip feed '99 for a number of reasons but the conversion should work just fine with any .308 model 99.

A lot of original 71s are no longer that way.....Recoil pads and side mount scopes are commonly found on many....Result is the minty, original ones are commanding premium prices...Beware of "fake" carbines-there several out there that started as rifles....nice prewar Deluxe rifles are now over the 3K mark....the 71 is arguably the finest Winchester lever ever made, IMO......thankfully, I acquired my Deluxe carbine and rifle before the prices skyrocketed....the longer you wait to scratch your itch, the more you're gonna pay......
