None of the local gunsmiths want to work on it as they are all AR mechanics now. Ranch Dog wrote:I have a hunter who shoots one and late it the season it decided to go full auto with a trigger pull. The 7400 was nowhere near as attractive as the model 100 but did what it was supposed to do. I traded it up several years ago for a bolt. I had a Remington 7400 in 308 that I chopped to 19' barrel. I like the 308 caliber.I have a lot of them.bolts, levers, now an auto-loader. I don't for the life of me remember why.probably a trade. If I find a good Winchester model 88 in 308 with a decent trigger it'll be leaving the shop under my arm.Īs I said I had one and sold it quite a few years ago.

The only 35 caliber with a decent following in the USA is the 35 Remington. Winchester didn't make the model 100 in 358 Winchester for whatever reason.probably because the 358 caliber never caught on in North America. The model 100 is semi-auto which came out in 1961. The one I owned had a heavier trigger pull than I like and the trigger was a bit creepy.I either sold or traded it quite a few years ago. The model 88 was the Winchester lever action offering which debut in 1955.also a very attractive rifle though there has been some controversy about their 'lousy' triggers. Had a similar rifle, the Model 88 in 358 Winchester.
