Its a super express built I think around 1989-90 with a crf action,,,not pushfeed.
Old Factory box is white with Red lettering.
Thanks for the help!
It looks just like this one except mine has much better wood!

Yes,I checked 3 times,even the one in the link is G6xxxx,,whats so odd about the number?
I have already seen that link,thats why iam here asking for help..LOL..I think my rifle is even earlier than the serial numbers indicate,like unlisted...what year did Winchester quit using white gun boxes and start using red ones like the rifle in the linky?If my rifle was made after 1992 it would have a red box right?

Regardless, the CRF action was re-introduced in 1992. After that, those serial #'s are hard to track and almost a guessing game..

Uh wth does that have to do with getting the yr your rifles was made? Your running around saying your rifle was made in 89-90 when its a fact they retooled under new management in 1992. In 1992 the classic featherwieght was made in the crf. Then in 1994 the CRF is brought back I would bet BSA pre-64 alaskan that your was made in 94 due to it being a 5 digit classic. But i would call winchester if you want to truly know or just keep running around saying it was made in 89. Enjoy your rifle i have stainless/ synthetic in a 375 h&h, i also have blued classic sporter in a left handed model 70.

I thought this .375 H&H was made in the late 70's or early 80's,turns out it was made in 1989 according to the serial #.

That .375 is a push-feed and the sn is G1975XXX so it was one of the last before USRAC went belly up.
