A pre 64 F/W in .257 Roberts....likely Winchester already had designs on the 6mm after introducing the F/W .308...
Imagine some of you have one (or more) on your "list"...

I have seen a F/W,by serial number,made the summer of 1963 in .284 Win? A Winchester collector bought it from the mid-west.
Real or not,it was a cool rifle.IF someone faked it,they knew what they were doing...

According Roger Rules book there is a possibility that a
FWT in 222 Remington was in the R&D department.

Would have liked to have seen a 70 Classic in .470 Capstick (hunting man's rifle.......not a Big Five)
A Big Bore 94 in .480 Ruger would have been cool.

Balltownbob: I have a couple on my Winchester "wish they would have made" wish list.
One I still dream of having to this day is a Varmint Model pre-64 Model 70 in 222 Remington.
I have actually shot a pre-64 Winchester Model 70 Hornet Standard Rifle that was converted over to 222 Remington and it shot pretty well.
But I would love to own a REAL factory offering in the Model 70 Varmint in the classic 222 caliber - I bet it would have been a shooter.
And I would have loved to own a Supergrade pre-64 Model 70 in the wonderful 280 Remington offering.
I had a Model 70 action from the month I was born (July 1947) made into a custom 280 Remington replete with 25" barrel and this Rifle has been just a dream to shoot and Hunt with!
