I've thought from the get go that Win-Miroku should have come out only with two variants--both of the now iconic Pre War guns - the saddle ring carbine and the 26" octagonal long rifle, each complete with their most associated features of the day, say Ca, 1900-1920 or so. This because, Post 64 commemoratives aside, these models never appeared again Post War "exactly" as configured originally. That's the tact Winchester should have taken, knowing that those either wanting just a brush gun or "serious" hunter have thousands of later Pre 64 and Post 64 (especially AEs for scope-able hunting) guns, respectively, to choose from for far less. For what Win-Miroku has charged, these new guns should have been oriented to the consumer--mere mortals but with some cash on hand-- wanting a brand new version of what they no longer can buy in that condition
