My 2008 limited edition fwt is pretty damned nice Originally Posted by raybass I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style.

A lefty Supergrade in .30-06 would be a nice addition. Probably not happening anytime soon, though. Bob Last edited by RGK; 02/14/14.

From what I read on their facebook page they're admitting they're assembled in Portugal but no mention of that on their website. http://www.winchesterguns.com/customerservice/qna/detail.asp?id=287 Kids are for people that can't have dogs
