Never heard of Model 71? No worries. It was always an orphan model of sorts, but shooting one may transform you into a rabid fan for life. Winchester has brought back the Model 71 (although it may be for a limited time, so grab one quick). The Model 71 starts with a Select Walnut, full pistol grip stock; classic rifle-style forearm; satin finish; and blued steel forearm cap for the genuine look, feel and finish from muzzle to buttstock. The straight-checkered steel buttplate is quick to shoulder and the round, tapered 20-inch barrel with a half magazine tube holds four rounds of 348 Win. In true lever-action tradition, the Model 71 comes with open buckhorn-type sights and a hooded front ramp to get you on target quickly. MSRP $1,470.
